The committee on the State Prison &c to whom was referred the documents relating to said Prison, made a report in this House which was read, accepted & ordered to be printed. Sent up for concurrence.

The Speaker laid before the House a communication from Hon. Daniel Rose late Warden of the State Prison as follows viz To the Honorable the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives of Maine, Gentlemen, I am informed that one, or more designing individuals have been industriously engaged in creating and circulating suspicions against my integrity of conduct in the office of Warden of the State Prison, which suspicions I am further informed have been insinuated into the minds of some of the members of the Legislature. Every one must be sensible of the injustice of condemning any man unheard, and without a sufficient knowledge of the facts. I have as required by law settled my accounts with the Inspectors of the State Prison, and furnished to them the proper vouchers for the items of expenditure, and if called upon they would probably have it in their power to furnish correct statements of the particulars.

The object of this communication is respectfully to request of the Legislature, a full, perfect, thorough and complete investigation into every part, and particular of my doings in the office of Warden of the State Prison and to render my aid in the prosecution of it, & such explanations as may be desired of me, as soon as the duties of my present office of Land Agent shall permit my attendance at
