to this Prison of Instants

</

Infants utterly incapable of labor are sent to this Prison by the
<
lb

</
lb

Magistrates with an order that they remain here until there be room

</

for them at the Hospitals of Saint Thomas or St. Bartholomew illl
<

and that some of these unhappy wretches have lately died for want of

</

And it appearing further to the Committee that such Commitments
<

</

are not only contrary to the Intent and Spirit of the Charter but
<
lb
>
</
lb

are also incompatible with the other objects of the Institution which
<
lb

</

most particulary requires that all persons committed to this House

</

of correction be capable of and be employed in hard labor

<
lb

</

the foregoing circumstances be properly represented to the Lord Mayor
<
lb

</
lb

and Court of Aldermen and that they be requested to confer with the
<
lb

</

Governors of the two Hospitals as to the necessity of adopting some

measures for receiving immediately all such Patients as the Magistrates

may think proper to send.
