That in carrying into execution the intentions of the
<
lb

</
lb
>
Founders of Bridewell, it will be necessary that a complete
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
separation should take place between the different Classes
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
and Sexes of Persons that have been enumerated, And, first
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
That two separate establishments be recommended to be made
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
for the employment of the Young Persons of each Sex, dividing them
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
again according to their behaviour and improvement Secondly,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that, as to Convalescents from Hospitals, distinct, Apartments be
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
provided for each Sex, and employment given to them. And
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
thirdly that separate places be prepared for Persons of each
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Sex discharged from Prisons or committed to hard labour; and
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
that those Persons respectively have a reasonable and liberal
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
proportion of the profits of their labour reserved for them on their
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
good behaviour and paid them on their being discharged, in order
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to enable them to set off in a course of honest and useful
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
employment; subject only to a small deduction or deductions,
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
if thought, proper on account of their diet and clothings.

That, the execution of this plan would be very much assisted
<
lb

</
lb

and the means extended by a system of recommending, and
<
lb

</
lb

helping such Persons as fast as they merit it, to situations
<
lb

</
lb

in which they may find employment and a livelihood, as
<

</

thereby the Apartments and the Funds would be sooner ready
<
lb

</
lb

for new objects; at the same that by a wise and liberal
<
lb

</
lb

encouragement to labour, and good conduct, and by an
<
lb
>
</
lb

economical system of diet, many of the Persons would nearly

</

maintain themselves, and all would be earning something and

</

be supported in the House, at much less expence than they

now are.
