Resolved it is the opinion of this Committee that the Governor
of the House of Correction at Clerkenwell under the present terms of his
appointment ought not to take any fees whatsoever of such Persons as
shall be committed to his Custody on suspicion of felony or other Crimes for
further Examination and who upon further examination shall be
discharged by the committing Justices without Bail or be by him
committed to another Prison for or in respect to such Commitment
and discharge.

It being the Opinion of this Committee that innocence is to be
presumed in every stage of a Criminal charged previous to the
conviction of Guilt and that Persons committed on suspicion of felony
or other Crime for further examination may and often do upon such
examination prove their innocence, and as commitment in this Case
is merely for safe Custody such Persons ought to be treated with the
greatest tenderness and lenity: neither burthened with fitters nor confined
among convicted and allrocious Offenders and as from the nature of a
House of Correction Imprisonment therein must be last injurious to
such an Individual Resolved it be Recommended to His Majestys
Justices of the Peace acting in and for the County of Middlesex to commit
such persons labouring under suspicion of felony or other Crime whom
it may be necessary to commit for further Examination to one of the
House of Correction for this County and if such further examination
shall Warrant a Commitment for Trial them to His Majestys Gaol of
Newgate or New Prison at Clerkenwell .
