A TABLE, shewing the Prisoners tried at the Old Bailey, from April 1793, to March 1794, inclusive.
| Prisoners convicted, and their Punishments. | |||||||||||
| London, Middlesex, and Westminster. | Persons comitted for trial. | Of whom acquitted and discharged. | Death. | Transported for 14 years. | Transported for 7 years. | Whipt & imprisoned. | Imprisoned 6 months and upwards. | Imprisoned 3 months & otherwise disposed of. | Sent to serve the King. | Judgment respited. | Total punished. |
| London Sessions | 199 | 70 | 6 | 1 | 50 | 10 | 29 | 20 | 8 | 5 | 129 |
| Middlesex and Westminster | 861 | 497 | 62 | 1 | 117 | 38 | 51 | 49 | 30 | 16 | 364 |
| 1060 | 567[134] | 68 | 2 | 167 | 48 | 80 | 69 | 38 | 21 | 493 | |
Thus it appears, that in London only, of 1060 prisoners, tried in the course of a year, only 493 were punished; of whom 197, after a temporary confinement, would return upon the Public, with little prospect of being better disposed to be useful to Society, than before.—It may be estimated that in all England, including those offenders who are tried at the County Sessions, upwards of five thousand individuals, charged with criminal offences, are thrown back upon Society every year.—
But this is not all,—for according to the present System, out of about two hundred and upwards who are, upon an average every year, doomed to suffer the punishment of death, four-fifths or more are generally pardoned[135] either on condition of being transported, or of going into His Majesty's service, and not seldom without any condition at all.
