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.

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. 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
which I have here thrown out come to
kis humane vifits. Should the hint
the ears of the great philanthropist, I
truft he will not deem it unworthy of
his ferious confideration.

Mr. URBAN,

I have seen better acting in the West-
minster Dormitory, but feldom so little
no great performers, there were no bad
with which to find fault. If there were
Fulk, Day, Luttrell, and Mack-
worth, did beft; though one or two of
these occafionally gave a proof of
strength of lungs rather than of judg-
ment, by speaking to loud as not to be
intelligible.

Bond-ftreet

One thing always strikes me as parti-
cularly ridiculous at this exhibition:
the smarteft habits of the present times.
the Roman characters are all dressed in
Micio was in a fine gold-laced coat and
hat; Efchinus was a
buck; and Syrus had one of the gayest
liveries of modern footmen. Surely a
foreigner vifiting this country, and
making his obfervations on the tafte
displayed in it, would not spare us
when he returned home for this practi-
cal anachronifin in one of our first claf-
fical schools. If these plays must be
acted, where would be the difficulty of
to ferve from one year to another? But
getting a few Roman dresses made up,
at Weftmiufter thould
is it not rather defirable that the fiage

reprefentations had turned his attention to

Parochial Houses of Industry. Most
certainly they claim a share of his "la-
bour of love" equally with the Prisons
of this kingdom. I am fully per-
fuaded that the condition of the poor

touched upon; it is not agreeable to a po-
lite tafte, and may be referved with pro-
priety for a private history only."

be altogether put an end to? For what purpose are they? To teach boys the art of fpeaking? In order to their improvement in this art, it cannot be neceffary to make them aft the plays of 'Terence. Is the stage erected (as lome have attempted to excuse it) to give boys confidence? On such an account it will hardly be admitted as neceflary at Westminster. All that can be faid
