Adjoining the North wall of the chancel is a large building entered from the church-vard, used as a maufoleam for the Dobell family. The Rectory of Street, in the Diocese of Chichester, and Archdeaconry of Lewes, is rated in the King's books at 61. 19s. 7d. among the discharged livings. The Rev. Jonathan Morgan is the present Rector. By the Domesday Survey, 27. a. 2, we are informed, that there were two fmall churches, or chapels, at Street (ESTRAT); though I fubmit to your Antiquarian readers, whether " acclefiola" may not mean two Altars or Chantries in the fame church, but fupported by separate endowments. Mr. URBAN, WILLIAM HAMPER. Dec. 15. IT is not without painful fenfations that I have for fome time past perused in your truly valuable Mifcellany the account of Prifons, made public by an eminent Physician. I honour the humanity of this gentleman, if fuch is his motive; but I muft fay that, in paying homage to so defirable an inmate of the human heart, he has loft fight of that principle which ought to direct all virtues, I mean difcretion. Had I not been occupied by important business, I should before have made some remarks upon this subject; but I am happy in finding them anticipated by Conferrator, p. 710, and more particularly foas they are aptly expressed. Dr. Leufom remarks, in his reply to Confervator, p. 805, "that the requifite care to this important object (namely, mo would rality) cannot be too earnesily impreffed upon the public mind." It certainly cannot. But to fiate the inattention to it in such a way as Dr. L. has done, is not a proper mode of turning the attention of the publick towards this important point. In the first place, information of this kind coming from an individual is liable to error, and, therefore, never to be depended on; and consequently no thinking man will pay any great attention to it. Secondly, the publick will themselves exaggerate the accounts here given, and swell the aggregate eftimate of vice. Thirdly, it will give room to Fanáticks, and to those whose darling object it is to throw any blame upon the Minifters of the Church of England, to abuse the Clergy, and intrude themselves into these places for the purposes of forwarding proselytifin, and what they are pleased to call conversion. So far as to a religious confideration of the subject. If we consider the subject in a political light, the tendency of fuch remarks is equally mischievous. Our anceßors, Mr. Urban, in state affairs were more secret than their pofterity, and their policy was more judicious. s. Yet I not wholly vindicate a narrow system of policy, which debars the publick of defired information, which information is defirable in the present cafe. But let it reach the publick through an authentic channel. To notice the regulation of prisons, or the breaches of morality, is the business of the Law; and, if there is no existing law for the purpose, to provide one is the business of the Legiflator. To individuals it belongs not thus to take cognizance of things out of their own sphere. Mr. Neild may be, and is, a magiftrate for one or two counties; but he is not an archmagistrate, as one should suppose, by his overlooking the regulations of every Prifon in every County, which is under the jurifdiction of its appropriate officers. But, even granting that these Letters were not themselves of a dangerous tendency, yet furely at this time, when a prejudice against places of confinement for culprits, arifing in greas meafare from mifreprefentation, has excited the clamours of a factious mob, and has furnished an inftrument for discontent, it is not prudent to give farther room for fuch clamours, or promote their farther extent by such a publication as the prefent. At present I have not time, nor have you room, Mr. A 1804.] Prisons and Workhouses. Westminster Play. 1183 Mr. Urban, for farther observations; and these would not have intruded upon your pages, had Dr. Lettsoin anfwered the remarks of preceding correfpondents with more candour and greater folidity of argument, than mere declamation about immorality, and mere negative ansivers to forcible objections. And, after all, the theme of morality is the subject of Dr. L.'s introductory letter only, whilst the "remarks" touch more on gaolers' fees, on the ground-plans of a Bridewell, upon privies and. fubstitutes for privies, than upon morality or its oppofite. Why fo formal an exordium, by another haud, should precede so simple a narrative, I am at a loss to discover; therefore shall start no conjectures upon CLERICUS LONDINENSIS. it. Mr. URBAN, Dec. 16. As my profeflion frequently calls ine into Parochial Work-houses, I have confequently an opportunity of viewing their state and condition. To me, indeed, many of them appear filthy and very badly managed. So unwholesome are some of these places, that they generate fevers and other diforders among the wretched inhabitants continually. I had once the toldness to recommend to a merciless observer fome improvement which I thought would be conducive to the health and comfort of the poor of his work-houfe. Iuftead of attending to my recommendation, he treated it with the greatest contempt, and defired I would mind my " own business, and not interfere with the parish concerns." Surely, if I am profeffionally called to these abodes of the wretched, my recommendation ought to have fome weight when it vifibly leads to a falutary end; and so it would, Mr. Urban, from every being who poflefled the leaft drop of the milk of human kindness in his breaft, except from these petty tyrants of parishes. Happy should I feel could I be informed, through thre medium of your Magazine, that that benevolent character, Mr. Neild, would be confiderably ameliorated by Mr. URBAN, DECIMUS. Dec. 13.

On such an account it will hardly be admitted as neceflary at Westminster. All that can be faid to 1 L |
