A. TAYLOR thought the Magistrates were to blame. They ought to have taken care that the pri soners should be accommodated In every way possibleto alleviate their sufferings. They should have given the benefits of good water. of cleanliness, and of purifying air, to every part of the prison, and whatever comforts could be rendered, they should. in humanity,' 'Sera them. He read the Report of the Commissioners, and agreed entirely with his hon. friend, the Member for Aberdeen, that some proceeding ought to he founded on it. He saw the Right Hon. Secretary who was at the head of the Home Department in his place, and had a firm reliance on his vigilance. He knew he would keep a watchful eve on the conduct of the Magistrates. He had not the honour of knowing the Magistrates of So mersetshire; but be they who they might, he bad no hesitation in saying that their conduct was most repre hensible. Mr. BENNRT was surprised to find any persons who . assented to the extraordinary statement of the lfon. [la. ronet. The Hon. Baronet caught bold of the phrage "solitary confinement," and interpreted it to mean tp be imprisoned within four walls, and to have food it op by the hands of the gaoler, through a grating ; but that was the worst spec es of solitary confiuement.— What was the sort of solitary confinement to which Mr. Runt was subjected? A person confined in satisfaction of political offence was obliged to associate with convict ed felons. That was the only prison in Itngland in which such rules prevailed, and the Samersershire Ma gistrates were the only Magistrates who could put such rules in force. But It was argued, in support of those regulations, that they were approved by the Judges, and drawn np by Mr. Justice Best.—(Heir, hear.)—lt was only the other day that any roles at all were in existence for Ilchester (hol, as by Act of Parliament they ought to have been. It was only of late that gaol had any rules, when the Magistrates made theme arbitrary regulations. Those rnles and the Report should he published, and the negligence of the Magistrates should be ina:lr known through the kingdom. He contended that # was the 'duty of the House to addrAs his Majesty for the ie romd of those Magistrates from the Chinniission of the Peace.—(Hear, hear.)—Therc was one case which came to his knowledge, and which was a disgracefnl instance of the negligence of the Magistrates. The Hon. flea tlenin'then read the case of Mary Cure, who, with her infant child, had been locked up in a solitary cell, for having had a dispute with another female. Poi. the two first days she had been without fire,'and was not allow ed to lay nut, for the benefit of her chill, the money al lowed her by berparish. The history of the case of that woman must touch the heart of every one who had the least feeling of ha manity. Her misfortunes were brought abont by the Magistrates, and by the gloleri their wretched tool. Mr. All. WOOD said the Magistrates were q *Ale • and so undetermined, that they altered the regoiatinek five or six times. They changed their minds .o oftei;l and the rides were altered solely in regard to Mr. thint,, 4 . The Commissioners, in their Report, said no halt Nag been found in the gaol with Mr. Hunt's conduct, or with' the conduct of his visitors. His object in data. , thee, was to beg the lion. Baronet would call on the Magis trate( to alter those regulations as far they respected' Mr Hint Via Wit WORM esfatiewe te teillidel• the se-a verity practised on Mr.linnt to arise rroin the Inquiry of which be had been the cause. It was not until he brought about that investigation, and until he brought, forward his charges, that thore regulations were put in force against him. Until then he had his liberty through the whole of the gaol, and the advantage of an nore. strieteti communication with his friends. Mr. DICKINSON explained. Mr. LEN NA RD regretted that the Report of the 6;m- Nnissioners made so few remarks on the conduct ofthe Magistrates. In the evidence, however, taken before them, there was one fact which was not yet contradicted. When the charge was brought against the Oroler, one of the Magistrates wee heard to say that they should de fend their gaoler at all events. That was in time evidence and not yet contradicted; but who was that :ranter? He was a man Ipronght from the Hulks. T,,e house should know what he was. Ile Was a drunk mul e and debanchee, and a pander, and a man totally ahandonell to the worst vices. lie hoped the honer ti mi:d he if forded an onportnnityof examining the evidence by tie Right Hon. Secretary fur the Home Department. The Petition was then read and ordered tb be 'priak ii.cnascraii GAOL. t Mr. All WOOD was understood to move, that the evidence tak .n before the Commissioners appointed ,to inquire into Ilchester Danl. be printed, as well as she Report of the Commissioners. Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that as the Report int scarcely legible, and as constant reference was made to it and the evidence; he could not have any ol.jection., The only reason why he should h es it a t e at all l a g i v i ng , his assent was, nn account of the heavy expease. They were then ordered to be printed. , Mr. HUME said that there was a priming establish ment attached to the Admiralty, which 'nigh:, for want of other employment, be used.—(ilear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. Alderman WOOD then moved, that certain evi dence taken at Ilchester Gaol before the Coroner'un the 19th and 20th ofJan. last, be laid on the table. ' Mr. Secretary PEEL said, as far as he was (-unarmed he could have no objection to produce that Ividoure, lint as a crimival charge might be founded on it, he did not think it right to disperse through the. courtry any 'thing to prejudice the minds of peopleagaivat the ' a bj ec t of those charges. lie wished to be understood as nut acceding to the production of Um evidence, a. a matter of course.
