At this Meeting Mr. Leroux produced to this Committee a Pencil drawing
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of a Plan for An House of Correction of which he considered No.1 as the Basic
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
But it appearing to the Committee that the deviations from that Plan, however
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
ingenious, were so essential, as to constitute a new and distinct Plan of Itself
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
rather than an Adoption of the plan No.1 they were of Opinion, that it would
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
be most adviseable to adhere as closely as possible to the said Plan No.1
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
with only the Alterations suggested at the several Meetings of this Committee
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Mr. Leroux was therefore desired to reconsider the Plan, and to form another
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
as similar as possible to that which the Committee, have made the Basis of
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
their Resolutions; and wherein a particular regard may be paid to the number
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of Prisoners, the mode of Confinement, the nature of their Employment, with
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
every other Circumstance, which can be collected from the Minutes of their
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Proceedings; and which can be applied to the Plan No. 1 adopted by this
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Committee Which Mr Leroux undertaking to do by Saturday the 10th
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of February Resolved that this meeting be adjourned to that day.
