J * Fourteen years, average 394 I. 6 s. 5 d. per year. N. B.— In Easter 1815, the names of the grand jurors are not given. Mr. Darly the grand jury treasurer is also an attorney, his salary in 1807, appears to have been 250 L and in 1822 it is 5001.; Mr. Bourne the gaoler of Newgate is brother- in- law, or closely connected by marriage to Alderman Archer, and Purdon the governor of Richmond bridewell, is son- in- law to Alderman Archer;
those are all that I recollect or can name at present. Do you know that all contracts for the supply of prisoners, are advertised for public bidding ?— No, I am not aware of that. Did you ever see an advertisement in the paper?— Yes, I have, but very seldom. Have you ever heard any thing against the manner in which those different officers have executed their duty, such as the treasurer, gaoler and those officers whom you state to be connected with the members of the grand jury ?— With respect to the treasurer and the gaoler individually, I have not; but there are officers I have heard great objections to, and that induced me to
inquire into the articles supplied by a Mr. Dalton, and beg to mention a fact that I happen to know of my own know- ledge ; on visiting Newgate I examined some of the articles, and also the pattern by which the contract was made, and particularly the article of linen, and can state that the parcel was not of the same description of linen in two respects, it was some- thing whiter, and not of any thing like so good a quality as the pattern. " When was that ?— In January last. Does your trade lead you to be a judge of that article?— I have exported some thousand pounds worth of linen.
