SOCIETY for the reformation of manners, and putting in execution the laws against immorality and profaneness. It was set on foot about forty years ago, by five or six private persons in London, but is since exceedingly increased by numbers of all denominations. A particular body of the most considerable hereof, bear the expence of prosecutions, &c. without any contribution from the rest. These chiefly apply themselves to the prosecuting people for swearing, drunkenness, and profaning the sabbath. Another body, of about fifty persons, apply themselves to the suppressing lewdness, and by them above five hundred lewd houses have been actually suppressed; a third body consists of constables; and a fourth of informers. Besides these, there are eight other regular mixed bodies of house-keepers and officers, who inspect the behaviour of the constables and other officers, assist in searching disorderly houses, seizing offenders, giving information, &c. There are several other societies of this kind at Bristol, Canterbury, Nottingham, &c.
