Sir, You are a governour of Bridewell Hospital, and must have been a witness of the wanton alienations made of its revenue: you must have heard of or remembered one passed about ten years ago, and also seen a resolution for perpetuating another at the last general court: both these for augmenting the salary of the preacher, which is now increased by one half of the original stipend assigned to that officer. The first of these augmentations was given to gratify him for preaching three sermons in a year; which augmentations he receives (if that were a considerable grievance amongst so many others) one year in every seven.
