<p n="1561">February 1786</p>
<p n="1562">At this Meeting Mr. Leroux produced to this Committee a<lb></lb>
Pencil drawing of a Plan for an House of Correction of which he considered<lb></lb>
No. 1 as the Basis But it appearing to the Committee that the Deviations from<lb></lb>
that Plan however ingenious were so essential as to constitute a new and<lb></lb>
distinct Plan of itself rather than an Adoption of the Plan No.1 they were of<lb></lb>
Opinion that it would be most adviseable to adhere as closely as possible<lb></lb>
to the said Plan No. 1 with only the Alterations suggested at the several<lb></lb>
Meetings of this Committee Mr. Leroux was therefore desired to reconsider<lb></lb>
the Plan and to form another as similar as possible to that which the<lb></lb>
Committee have made the Basis of their Resolutions and where in a<lb></lb>
particular regard may be paid to the number of Prisoners the mode of<lb></lb>
Confinement the Nature of their Employment with every other Circumstance<lb></lb>
which can be collected from the Minutes of their Proceedings and which<lb></lb>
can be applied to the Plan No. 1 adopted by this Committee. Which Mr.<lb></lb>
Leroux undertaking to do by Saturday the 18th. of February, Resolved<lb></lb>
that this Meeting be adjourned to that day</p>

the professional Gentleman present at the Committee. But in Order to<lb></lb>
obtain yet Fuller satisfaction and that this Committee may be Enabled<lb></lb>
more accurately to state their Sentiments to this Court It was Resolved<lb></lb>
that Mr. Leroux be desired as soon as possible to draw out his Plan at full<lb></lb>
length and exhibit the same at the next Meeting of this Committee</p>
