"The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom were referred the petition of the overseers of the poor of the town of Danvers, and of other inhabitants of said town, and of the overseers of the poor of the towns of Andover, Billerica and Littleton, severally praying, that where convicts having a legal statement in any town within this state, are sentenced to confinement in a house of correction for any offence, provision shall be made by law for a notice to be given to the overseers of the poor of such town, and that the overseers of such house of correction shall, on the written application of the said overseers of the poor, be required to permit them to remove such convict to the work-house of such town, 'or that such other modifications of the law may be made, as will relieve the many inconveniences which now exist.'--And to whom was also referred the petition of the several overseers of the houses of correction of the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Suffolk and Worcester, praying that all that part of the 24th section of the 143d chapter of the Revised Statutes, which requires a separate account to be kept of the labor and earnings of each prisoner, and of the cost of materials and other expenses attending the same; and also that the 26th section of said chapter, which requires that the net earnings of each prisoner over and above his expenses, shall be paid to his family, or to him upon his discharge--may be repealed--have considered the several subjects submitted to them, and respectfully submit the following report."--Page 1-2.
