committed, one was discharged 

 on the 4th of July, one on the 

 31st on account of illness, ten on 

 the 12th of November, fourteen 

 on the 3rd of December, one on 

 the 22nd of December, six on the 

 29th of December, and three on 

 the 20th of January, and one 

 died in prison. From the cir- 

 cumstances of the country, as 

 laid before your committee, and 

 as publicly notorious during the 

 period in which those imprison- 

 ments took place, your committee 

 see no reason to doubt that the 



detention of the several prisoners, 

 was governed by the same sound 

 discretion, which, as your com- 

 mittee have already stated, ap- 

 pears to have been exercised in 

 apprehending them. The whole 

 of the arduous duties confided to 

 the executive government, ap- 

 pears to your committee to have 

 been discharged with as much 

 moderation and lenity, as was 

 compatible with the paramount 

 object of general security. — 27th 

 February 1818.
