December 1784

That there has been Work done by the Prisoners
from the 5th. day of April 1783 to the 2d day of March 1784
to the amount of}£37..6s..9d

That Mr Harwood also received for Work done
by the Prisoners in the time of his Predecessor}£11:13s:0d

That the Wages of the Taskmaster which are
now included in the general charge of Expenditure for
Servants but which your Committee are of Opinion ought
to come out of this fund amounts to}£32:19s:0d

That out of this fund the account of which hath
been kept separate and distinct from the Receipts of Office
Mr Harwood hath expended by order of his Majestys Justices
of the Peace for this County for Beds Coverlids Etc which are
for the use of Sick Prisoners indiscriminately and which in
the opinion of your Committee ought not to have been
taken out of this fund}£22:2s:6d

For Shoes and Stockings as a reward to Prisoners who labour £20:3s:0d

For Incidental Charges attending the Work£2:3s:0d

Making together £44..8s..6d

Which Sum with the wages of the Task master being added makes a
Balance in Expenditure against the Receipts arising by Work
(exclusive of the Sum of £11:13s:0d received by Mr Harwood of his
Predecessor of£40..9s [..]

But if the Receipts by Work had been strictly confined to
defray the expence of incidental charges attending the
Work, the Taskmaster and rewards in Shoes and Stockings
to those only who labour there would have been a Balance
in Expenditure against the Receipts by labour of only}£17:18s..3d

And it is the Opinion of Your Committee that Profit
would have arisen by Labour if Work could have been constantly
procured

That there does not appear to have been any extraordiny.
Expenditures made by Mr Harwood on Account of the Government
of his Prison.
