The Society of Antiquaries has recently been presented with one or two Communications of considerable interest respecting Westminster: and in the absence of any thing more important, I beg to lay before it the Transcript of a Scheme, projected in 1561, for constructing a House of Correction for that City. The original is preserved among the Lansdowne Manuscripts in the British Museum, and is endorsed, as for consideration, in the hand-writing of Lord Burghley.
