They were not sled in Scotland, and the revenue of this entropy required In fur:ber protec tion tharthat of Scotland. Mr. W. SMITH explained. Mr. P Slt/ORE supported the Petition.

There wise no poesiloility of obtaining, rearms by representing any Individual eases of abater the only remedy was to sweep sway the whole system altogether. After a few farther observations from Mr. W. Smi the petition WAS Wined to he printed. Mr. HILL pees/rated a similar petitioo from the ire* masters of the county of Salop.—Ordered to be printed. Sir .1. NEWPORT gave notice of two utotious in Wednesday the Sib of May, for papers relating (as tea understood) to tithes end taxes in Irelaod. MIL tiCNT. Petitions were presented from Salisbury, Norwich, Rothbury, Halifax, and another place. praying for • re ruisaiott of the remainder of Mr H u nt's sen tence. The Marqness of TITCHEI ELD presented a similar petition from the Borough of Lynn. Is the ob floes with which the Noble Lord accompauied the peti tion, we were frequently enable to follow him. from the low tone in which they were delivered. The petitioners ronsidered that Mr. Hunt was entitled to compensation for his sufferings, end they particularly dwelt upon the severity of his sentence. They also begged to remind the Honse that it hail already remitted part of the sen tence of one indiri,lnal, alluding to the cave of Sir M. Lopez. Notwithstanding the respect which he enter tained for the opinion of his constituents, the Noble J.ard declared that he did not tigregift all their condo. Mona. Ile did not see that his Majesty's Ministers bad Weil improperly by recommending the prosecution of Mr. Hunt. Neither could he believe the Judges to have been actuated by any desire hot that of giving an ade quate punishment in proportion to the °Bette, of which the prisoner had been found guilty. At the same time the punishment which he had received had been greater limo was contemplated by the sentence, and be thought that the two years imprisonment, with the increased Se verity, WAS more than equal to the two years and a half withont it. He shonl,l not, therefore, recommend the release of lar. Hunt, as matter of favour hut of justice.— He was one who would never interfere with the decisions of the Courts of Justice without the most obvious neces sity. As the prisoner in this case had suffered consider able more than was awarded to him by his sentence. be thought the Home Department imperatively called upon for its loterforence, /dr. WYNN said, he did not wish to antiripate the ap proaching discussion twit this topic, but be could not allow one of the allegations in the petitions to past withont imbed's': immediately contradicted. That HOU, did not interfere with the sentence of SW M. Lopez. A motion was submitted for that purpose; but if it had not been withdrawn, it was his them belief that it would have horn negatived. Mr. 4.1. BENNET said, that the motion was certainly withdrawn, but it was with an implied understanding thst the ease should receive the consideration of tiovern• snent. lie knew this to be the case, because he was a party to the understanding. Mr. PEEL was present at the debate in question, and he never heard a word about any understanding or coin promise. Besides that was a ease peculiar in its cha. ract .r ; and the very grounds upon which the interfer enee of the Honse was recommended were, its haying originated the proceedings against the individual, and the offence having been committed especially against it. Sir J. MACKINTOSH stated that the impression on his mind at the time was. that the Honse had interfered in the case of Sir Slanasaeli Lopez. Mr. BROCLiIIA NI said he was of the same opinion. After some words from the Marquess of *ft refill ELI), and Mr. %Vitas, in explanation, the petition was laid upon the table, and ordered to he printed. Mr. Alderman WOOD presented a similar petition from the town of Halifax, which was signed by 2,500 pentium, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, referring to the doubt whirl, ordered as to the interference of the House in the case of Sir Manasseh Lopez, said that it was distinctly itn premed upon his mind at the time that the House had substantially interfered, though perhaps not is. form. "The petition was then ordered to lie upon the table. Mr. W. SMITH presented a petition frum the city of Norwich on behalf of Mr. Hunt. Mr. BEAUMONT prisented a similar petition from Rothbury, in Northumberland.—Both ordered to lie en the table. Sir P . BURDETT then rose and said, that after the number of Petitions, which had been presented to the Hawse upon the subject on which he was about to ad dress it, and in favour of the motion he was about to make; and after the able manner in which they had been supported—one I. particular, presented by a Noble Lord connected with a part of the county of Nottingham—lie felt considerable mobs rrr r went, because that Ni-ble Lord had taken and occupied those grouds upon which he was ceotented to rest his case. Ile felt particlar anxiety for the fate of the present queciou, inasmuch as it deeply affected the interests of the public, as well as those of the individual who was the subject of it, and had he believed. already met with a favourable reception among some of the Members of that House. lii, object was to obtain the liberation of Mr. Hunt from his present con fiotinent, because it was uuder circutustances which ren dered it already tvleqttate to the punishment intended by the Court which had sentenced him. Up to the pre sent moment, he had trusted that Ministers would of themselves have taken the course which would hare roulered it unaecessary for the Ilunae to be troubled with the quettion, and he confessed that he was some what surprised, that they had not availed themselves of the opportunity to advise an Act. which could be no less eratetail to the feelings of his Majesty, than it would be to those of the people at large. With regard to the support for which be looked, hr would observe that altliongli he was *Ware of the difficulty attending minis terial trammels and parliamentary tactics ; but uotwith standiag that difficulty, be trusted he should have tie able support of the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite (Mr. Peel.) Upon that support be was the Mrs disposed be calculate, agile a recent occasion when he had thought' it necessary to represent to the Right Hon.Dentleman the eases of two persons who bad been convicted for some offence committed in the North, and who had good cha- -To sustain heron the Home, he toned that he was not compelled he it impugn thesenteareHam If be satisfied the Hinse that the senesce itself was severe enough for the offence; and that the modt of carrying it isto effect hall been more severe. than the Coert which palmed the sew; hence intended it to he; then hr flattered himself' lie should hare the assistance of the Right Honearible Gentleman ; hat, at all events, he thought Mr. Hint entitled to the thanks of the public, for having seem cloned the investigation respecting Whetter jail, t result of which was before the House in the Osmosis. stoners Report. In order to if'. ore his first prepossitiets. that the senesce on Mr. Hem was amply severe, It hes came necessary for him to advert to the charges egoista Mr. H. In the indictment against that gentleman, draft wen a great somber of counts, containing diorites fres the highest degree of guilt to the lowest. and the jar, acquitted hint of all the greater charges, sad had. Ave hours consideration, returned a verdict againet spoil the least of all. And here be could ant bet ilit. Ore a 0 the hardship attending the practice of prefer 1 tiny charges for the greatm as well as for the lesser of in one and the same indictment. The law in nit ' • ° ' ... .. ei Wight be. sot unaptly, compared I. those Acts. "Sikaherinen which were forbidden by that seine law. ,The nets in question were calculated to catch the large Ash as well as the serenest fry ; and isdictinents of the waters be alluded to were a species of net containing the tefieed meshes; so that when she legal net was throweei over the unhappy defendant it was scareele possible feel him to escspe. In one of the smaller meshes Mr. Heal had been caught. He bad been found guilty on Ile , count containing in point of enormity the least of do several charges; but if he had been "found guilty spar i every count, be (Sir F.) drought that a sentence of a year sad a half of insprisooment would amply hare sm tisfied the justice of this case; the guilt was at the least of a lesser degree. Indeed, in point of mind and of in tent, Mr. Hunt was innocent of all crime; and it was a legal maxim that to constitute a crime, the mind must concur with the act. The Maeistrates of Manchester did not protest against the Meeting for attending which Mr. Iluot hail been convicted; although they had pro. tested against one which had been advertised a few days before. Indeed. up to the present moment. he declared he was at a loss to know what was the offence which Mr. Hunt bad committed ; hut whatever was the of- fence. the sentence was quite sufficient to answer all the ends of justice. Dui, if this seatence was called for 1 by the offence contained in the particular count oe which Mr. Hunt bad been convicted, he really should like to know what would be the necessary punishment if be bad been convicted upon the whole of the indict meat. The entire life of Mr. Hunt would not have fur- nished matter for panishment, unless indeed lie were to live to the see of Ilethusela, and unless the life of the Rev. Dr. Colston were prolonged to an equal length to enable hint to ha the visiting Magistrate of the prisoo. He should not go at length into mitten which might be considered as ie some degree extraneous; and as the subject arising of the Licht-wee Jail wont.' come before the House, in the shape of a specific motion, he should touch upon it very shortly. He would first call the at tention of the House to what took place when the sen tence upon Mr. Hunt was passed. "Mr. Hunt, with great readiness of mind, asked if the imprisonment wad intended to he solitary; and the Judge answered,'"' BY no means." Short iy after wards, i t was stated, be believed . to the house, drat Dcbests rJ ail w•s the healthiest prison issi goateed, and that it teal upon such account, that Mr Hunt had been sent there. It was now proved, that IC was the most unhealthy and ill-managed; and it there fore followed that the Cunrt bad norititeniled to send Mr. Hunt to such a prison. One of the Members for the County of Somerset hail admitted that Mr. Hunt ought to have every indulgence consistent with his safe custody. Now all the charges of severity. brought by Mr. Haut against the Jailer, had been proved; and as his punislintent bad been increased in sultnence, it ought to be lessened in duration. Mr. Hunt, it appear ed, bad been taken to a part of the jail called the North Ward, wherein, for tire months in the year, the son never shone at all; and when he did shine his rays were an annoyance. for local circumstances caused the light to be a reflecting light, which was very distressing to the eye.. Mr. hunts eyes haul, he (Sur F.) under stood), suffered very materially from this canoe, and would never recover their former - trength. The place in which he was directly confined was too large for a cell, and certainly too small for a room. When hr first entered it there wive two truck beds. and two prisoners in it, who were destined to Le his companions; and one of them was confined fur attempting to murder his wife 1 and children. Mr. limit very naturally objected to this company, and the persons were removed. Subsequently Sir John Acland called to visit the prison, and on enter- ing Mr. Ilunt's roormhe found it so damp that he apolo- giseil to Mr.lfunt forkeeping on his hat, as he was appre hensive of catching cold unless lie did. The door also he found to be so cold that he ordered a mat for his feet, and desired that another might he brought for Mr. Hunt. — It was bet justice to Sir Julin Aeland to atate, that he iminciliati4 ordered the stone floor of Mr. Hunt's room to lie b•-arded. It was extraordinary that Mr. Hunt's own servant was not allowed to attend upon him ; but that was the fact. There was a yard attached to the prison ; intended for an infirmary ; but it was only fit to prepare people for an infirmary. In this yard alone was Mr. Hunt at first allowed to walk ; but afterwards lie was allowed to walk in a larger yard. It was to be remembered that by a complaint from Mr. Hunt, and that every complaint he had made had horn fully substantiated. 'Sir Charles liastifylite, the Sheriff, had forbid the keeping Mr. Hunt in solitary confinement ; but on Sir Charles going out of other, the Rrv. Dr. Colston again because a visiting Magistrate to the prison, and counnuenced a series of cruel, unnecessary, ungentlemanly, and disgraceful ob structions on Mr. - Hunt. Mr. hunt discovered that grois malyersations prevailed in the jail, had the courage to demand an investieatiou, and to press his demand in the face of every discouragement which was throwo in his way. The jailer hail acquired a sort of character by the grossest meanness and hypocrisy, and haul become a companion of the magistrates. The unhappy sufferers under this man's power, appeared to have no chance of snccess ; hut Mr. Hunt determined to encounter the risk, and at length compelled the Magistrates to listen to his complaints. An inquiry was instituted, and be fore three Jays were concluded the Alegistrates were so satisfied that the emits would be established, that they of feria to compromise the matter with Mr. Hunt by dis charging the jailer, on condition that Mr. Hunt would not press any further inquiry. Mr. Hunt refused. He said, it was fur the Magistrates to do their duty noon the evidence which would be laid before them, but as the matter involved the consideration of a public grievasee he was determined to press it. Immediately after thin. Mr. H. was served by Mr. Droderip. the Under Sheriff 1 (who was mixed up with the Magistrates) with an at tachment for the payment of 50/., the costs of an mime ensful position made by Mr. Hunt to the Coart of King's Beach, for relief. He was then served with an Exchequer process at the suit of the Crown. for certain peualles said to ban been incurred by bins for using *serial with .

These proortelinge. for might he brew, might be strictly legal; bet leg al or not, they were cruel and oppressive. It op that, what in other men would be praiseworthy was in Mr. Haat a cringe. He (Stir F. Burdett) thought Mr. Hunt had conferred a benefit on the public by the discovery for which be had been amerced by the Excise Laws. It procured a cheap and wholeirme breakfast. aml occasioned a demand for our bow produce. In fact he should have obtained a pre miontrether than have suffered a punishment. Among imams who applied at the jail to see Mr. Hunt was hie shilicesod dying sister. Yet. would it be believed, a deveread teacher of Christianity had hail the hard hearteilness and the cruelty to deny the farewell-taking of a dying sister and s captive brother? She was re fused; she did not snrvive, and Mr. Hunt did not see her. It was this Rev. Dr.Colston who had done this; and by this be bad violated his profession as a clergy man, and his duty as a Magistrate; he bad violated the law as well as the mild precepts of that Holy Gospel, which it was his ditty to teach and to enforce by has example. This act of Dr.Colston was. be would ven ture to say, one of cruelty without a parallel.—(Hear, hear, hear!)—lt would scarcely be believed, except it were related as a part of the history of the Inquisition. Bat enormity like this hail long been its protection; for when it was stated it was declared to be impossible.— Mr. Hoot, however, by his ability and fortitude, had en titled himself to the gratitude of the palilic, by being the means of patting an end to the system so long prac tised in Ilchester jail. Indeed, Government themselves ought to consider themselvis benefitted by the discovery of practices, the abolition of which relieved them from a considerable degree of odium. lied it not been for the interference of Mr. Hunt, the atrocities is question might, and no doubt would, have bees continued up to that monneata. Among other parts tattle conduct of the Rev. Dr. Colston, he had to state, that when Mr. Hunt was in solitary confinement, by order of the Rev. Doc tor. and was also suffering under illness. he applied to the R ad Divine for permission to be visited by the Doctor living in the tows. This application was treated with contempt, and Mr. Hunt was referred to the Doctor of the jail; tie man who hail hen an active party to the oppression Mr. H. had so long complained of. 'his medical doctor was the man who hail applied the mate rials of the healing art fur the purposes of torment; sod Mr. Mont, under all the circumstances, preferred leav ing his complaints, which consisted of violent spasms in the stomach, in the hands of nature. This doctor, it seemed, had applied a blister to the head of an unfor tunate prisoner who was heavily ironed ; because, as the Doctor said, e- he was a troublesome fellow." The same course had been taken with soother. because it was said. '- lois manners wanted mending;" to soo ther, because" lie was a troublesome jockey;" and to another, because the Dortorsaid he " shammed." Now, there tooid be little doubt that the Doctor would view Mr. Haat in all these lights; and he thought therefore the latterlad done very wisely in avoiding him. From that time to the present, inquiry had gone on, and the severity upon Mr. Hoot hail bees gradually mitigated. A wall winch had been considered useless was now re moved ; and on the whole his situation was compara tively easy. For tbis Gentleman, be (Sir Fraaeis) melted not for mercy, bat for inadequate tardy justice, because Mr. Hunt bad suffered snore than was intended by the Court when they passed sentence upon him. He was nut interfering with the sentence of the Court; indeed the Court, as far as lay in their power, had afforded re lief to Mr. Hunt. The Hon. Baronet here referred to the Report of the Committee appointed to esquire into the management of llcliester jail. Th. Commissioners, he believed, were men of high character, and so one could suspect them of a desire to be severe upon the Ma gistrates or the jailer; for as much as honest men could do so they had softened down the evidence affecting these persons. It appeared there had been no regula tions for the management of the jail, and the Commis sioners stated it was the reverse of what it had been re presented to be. Doctor erasion was the leading per son, and the jailer's word was taken upon every occa shin. This, tie (Sir F. Barlett), contended was wins& than no visitation at all ; fur it was taking away all re sponsibility from the jailer and placing it no alien at all. That the general body of the 31agistracy of the County were very deserving men he was perfectly ready to admit; bet be protested against the sweeping practice which had prevailed of praising t'aem indiscri minately and exempting them from all blame because they were not paid. Ile would prefer a paid Magis tracy to a Magistracy without any responsibility. The situation of the prison was that of a dead level, and the prison itself contained an accumulation of filth, with which the water was tainted. The river was close to the prison, hut the prisoners were not allowed to obtais it. There never was, he believed, in this country, a gaol so mismanaged. There was no classification of the prisoners. It was true the amen, under pretruce of a regard for morality, were kept separate from the men; but there had been abundant proofs that the turnkeys bad had access to them. The Report of the Conan's %loners stated that all the subordinate officers of the prison were persons of bad character; I of them indeed had been coolined in the jail two or three times.
