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
