Sinopsis

Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Board of Inspectors of the Philadelphia County Prison: Under the Act of Assembly, of the 27th November, 1847

This duty would have been performed by me within the time prescribed by law, had the requisitions of the act itself been complied with by the officers whose duty it was to report to me.

Of the sixty counties in the Commonwealth, six only have made reports which may be deemed complete 5 twenty-seven are incomplete, and twenty-seven have made no report whatever. In addition to this, the reports received are made out in such a manner as to preclude the hope that an abstract could render them intelligible, or furnish, in' the slightest degree, the important information intended to be procured by the passage of the act.

Under these circumstances I have concluded to hand over, through you, to the House of Representatives, the reports as received by me, imperfect as they are.
