Prison Charity, in the County of Salop.

This charity is of such importance, that we cannot forbear to state its objects and proceedings, with an earnest wish that the clerical magistrates in every county, where there exists no charity of the like description, may use their utmost exertions to establish one upon a similar plan.

I. To enable debtors to gain a livelihood while in eonfinement; to reward their industry and good behaviour while there, and to furnish them with some implements or materials on quitting prison, the better to support themselves and their families on their return to society.

II. To encourage industry, penitence, and orderly behaviour in criminal prisoners, and to furnish with clothes, and implements, those who, on quitting prison, receive a certificate of their good behaviour.

III. To provide all those who are dismissed with a small sum for immediate maintenance, to prevent the temptation of committing a crime for that purpose.
