Thum prisoners were tried and convicted to the comity of Middissas, and he wield sot imagine any jest roams for transferriog their malatonance during their Imprisonment from the County to the City. The former practice was to N. move prisoners from the different county prisons to Newsate. immediately precious to their trial et the Old Bailey. Of late, however, the eatesordinary practice had obtained, of not only committing county offenders to Newgate at once, but of consigning them to shut prison dialog the period of imprisonment they were sentenced to suffer. This was a grievance from 'high be thought that soma measures should he taken to retitle. the City. The Loan Matron °boned, (het in consequence of the grievance alluded So by the Worthy Gentle man, which he rred with him la cowdemning, and which was tint only 'spinal* to the City, bet eatrermly locomenirot, from the want of adequate room lo Naivete, he felt it his duty to have a tom mooicatio• with the Under Secretary of State for the Home Departmeet /moo the subject. He had bad, iodoeit,.two interviews with Mr. Hobhonso on ibis braise's, and he bad the satisfaction to say, that this Gentleman entirely agreed with his opinion obse serving, however, that as the 16 prisoners referr:d to had been ideally sentenced, ao change *gee& he made with ',gold to them, hot measures wadi be taken to prevent the rowarreoco of the evil so justly complained of. Mr. Alderman WAITIIIIAW expressed his coonri rence wish the opittioss of the Cord Mayor awl the Worthy Gentleman who receded him, obsertiog, that as his Majesty's Ministers had given notice of a sotioa in the Hoes, of Comma's for the appoint. meat ed a Committee to enquire lot* the State of Prisms, the Corporation might avail bailor the oc casion to Petition the House upon Ibis subject, and such a Petition would no deebi be retested to the consideration of that Committee, through which he heped, the atil allodtd to would be provided agaiost in foliate. - 4 p ~~ INSOLVENT DEBTORS.

Mr. Alderman Werramax saki, that be bad had se veal communications open this subject from dif ferent parts of the country, all of which were de cidedly adverse to the character and operation of the law alleded to.

Messrs. JACKS and Dixon sepportod the Motion, and reprobated the law to which it referred. Mr. OLDMAX observed, that GO Legislative pro vision was necessary to protect honest debtors from I oppression, because no creditors would attempt to oppress inch persons. The law compisieed of we,, however, net only unnecessary but highly Injurious; for, by giving seen estraordinary facilities to the re ktor. of debtors, it naturally led to an estraordinary limitetioe of credit, and besot wavy honest persons very severely saffered, while the Erection of trade was materially impeded. lie coeld, indeed, see Ile benefit whatever that resulted from this °besiege law, Incept to a particular Barrister, for witalkla provided a eery comfortable situation. Mr. Coma said, that tbroogit his connesion with the Sheriff's Office, he bad an opportunity of wit. peeling the extraordinary effects of the law, and be happened to know, that within one year, since its eeseisseet, a certain somber of debtors bad been re leased for no lees a ease than 140,0001., of which their creditors ultimately received no mere (handset one farthing in the pound. But be had reason to be lieve that a thousand similar cases might he quoted. Mr. Aldorssao WarTuatar statsd, that be bed rea son In believe such eases were almost innorntrable.
