posed that Mr. Dianna, in March 1814, oPtil . teil to .im to effect • policy of insurance on his lite fur 1.0001. For certain reasons they did not gr.nit it. Witness went to Doctor Dwerryhouse. M. SCA Ki.sre addressed the Jury for the Plain tiff. Before he had heard the evidence of the prnfesisonnal gentleineis who appeared as wit nesses for the Defendant, it was impossible f,r Imo to submit his case to their consideration with entire confidence ; hut having heard them, he could not help regretting with his Learned Freind, they hail taut been called sooner.— Their testiursony wall the best that could possibly hove beets adduced for his elitist. They kid prnyed that the deceased had recovered after the stack in 1814. Who has not been afflicted with -ickite-ss? if he was recovered from this attack, he w.ta undoubtedly an insuralde life. His shop. man proved that he was temperate. Mr. Finlay had applied to Dr. Dwerryhouse, and so had the agent to the Hope Assurance. But this was nut tne first time toe Hope Assurance bad engaged in a law-snit—he remembered when they wished to establish a Case of suicide. and it was owing to the disc.-etion of their Counsel that such had nut been the dderce now set up. They hail failed in that case as they would in Otis. Whether Mr. Dick ann's complaint was palsy or rheuinatimn wasiloubt ful. hut that he had recovered bunt the attack was certain—that he was in health whets the insurance was effected had been proved. The Learned JUDGE recapitulated the evidence with suitable comments, and the Jury. after a few minutes deliberation, returned a verdict fur the Plisititiff—Damages e,ooof.

REPORT or THE COMMITTEB OF THE SOCIETY FOE THE IMPROVEMENT OF PRISON DISCIP LINE, AND FOR THE lEFUEMATION OF JUVE NILE OFFENDERS. (Conthesed frets our Paper of Friday loaf.) LONDON. MAY 16, 1818. The lamentable depravity which, for the last few years, has 'hewn itself so conspictionsly amongst the youth of both sexes, in the Metropolis and its environs, oceasioned the formation of a Society fur investigating the causes of the increase of Juvenile Delinquency. It regime:l no depth of penetration to foresee, that persons. early inured to (01 1ie, would, if no means of correction or prev,•ntion were employed, sink deeper in the abyss of lice ; accumulating on society all the evils or the deepest crimitiality, infectiiig all those whom accident or design might render their associates, anti I.llviiig almost beyond the reach of hope all prosm-ct their own amendment. The morel cat ditto' i of a human beirig is seldom, if ever, statimary ; lie must improve in virtue, or become hardened in vice ; the guilty youth of this Metropolis will hot become in manhood ordinary members of the community ; he who !pilfers in his early flays, who has so far lost his arose of to ctittile and s'arine its boyhood, will oat pass through life without still more flagrant violations of ht. d a t e ; and all the known principles by which the human mind is governed and directed, teach us to expect the inevitable conseqiiencts—cons sequences which religion, litimainty, rwlfspro. tectimi, and sell-interest equally shud per at. In this melancholy catalogue, we must include mur der, rapine, theft, every b peeler of delitirineucy which exposes life and property to danger; which debases and pollutes the moral character, insures misery in this world, and darkens the hope of mercy in the next. All these most lamentable re bolts must ensue, if (Tune he suffered to lily waste the youthful population of the laud, unchecked and unrestrained. More truly powerful incentives to human action the wit of man cannot devise ; but if these did not suffice, others are not wanting. Every vicious person ought to he the aubj,-ct of commiseration with every Christian, with every urea who believes in a future state of rewards and p 'sinews; for a guilty conscience is the sure accompaniment of crime, and misery us certainly the consequence of guilt. ‘Ve slew the misfor tunes of this life with an eye of pity ; but what are they ise comparison with vice ? What calamity can produce misery like a sense of depravity, the inward conviction of having forfeited the litotes:lion of that liring, who alone can console us in the hour of trouble, iti the shadow of death ? Again, therefore, and boldly be it avowed, that the guilty are proper objects of our pity—vice of our horror nod detests riot'. Let no one suppose, that these observations tend to excite undue ((((( mitieratian for the offender, or to loosen the great hoods by which pile and pro perty are to he protected. J o-tree, morality, policy, all require the offeoce to be repressed ; punishment is our great means to attain that end ; it should br certain, uud, es far as the imperfection of lintc,an ordinances ' •Is, proportiusinte to the gudt ; but rellgiwi and hootanity require, that the r. strand or crime should not he the titter destruction of the offender : his reformation and future hap piness, it is erioninal to abandon. If then we should commiserate the condition of the most hardened prcfl:g de, how much stronger is the call upon our hum n v, where the criminal is of tender years, open to every temptation, null, us has most frequently occurred, trattied not in virtue and morslity, brit habitually instructed from his 'oiliest days in vice and or compelled by dire necessity to earn a miserable subsistence by dishonest practices? Instigated by these various considerations, the ciety in 1315 commenced its lalmtirs; and, seer 'tilde that an . emirate knowledge wit. first indespeits :slily requitoie, spared no pants to procure the best information. For this purpose, the Committee ar ranged their numbers into Ault-divisions, who vi. sited the carious prisons in London and its neigh bourhood; examined the boys apart, pursued their inquirres amongst their parents, friends, or asso ciates; kept a journal of many hundred cases, in which all perticolars deserving of consideration were carefully recorded and preserved; and, in short, adopted mrry possible measure to acquire au accurate knowledge of the extent of juvenile de linquency, and the principal causes that occasion ed its extraordinary and still advancing increase. Experience has shewn, that the information thus obtained was generally correct, though, of course, incorrect statements and erroneous accounts were at times received. The Committee, however, are patialied, that they have prosecuted the investiga tion successfully ; the general results of their ta bours have already beers submitted to the public in a short Report. It is necessary here shortly to advert to some facts which appear uudottltied, and some princiitles which are deemed incontrovertible, as to juvenile delinquency, its causes, and those remedial mea sores whirls are considered most efficacious in pre venting its future increase, rend restritinitig it with in narrow limit.. The records of all the Police Offices; the eon tttt &oleo's, trials, and convictions at Nett/gate and other gaols; ill the information, howsoever acquired, ureter in demonstrating the lamentable fact, that juvenile delinquency has of I m r e ve;r:s increased to an mtprecedertterl extent, and is still rapidly awl progressively increasing; that the crimes c tied by the youthful of. fenders :Ire often of the worst descript ins, ; and that an organised stem for instriretiou in vice, and the encouragement of depravity, is regularly main tained*. • fly rtfirence Si, the Cousins, Calendar, it will appear, tl,st, in the year 1S Id, cow hundred and twenty-three bays, of 17 years of age nod under, were eonliilial in Nnegato on/p; hut in 181st, two hundred =ud forty-seven such chil dren were found within the walls of that prison, being just double the number doting a period of there years. In 1817, the list of boys thus imprisoned, .mounted to three hundred and fifty-nine. Asset when we add to these the numbees con fined iu the niter, p ei.uus ; those summarily convicted) fur ;wily orbiters by the Magistrates; those Si ied at thenerken- It'eallaill.trt, and Southwark Sessions; those who escape dricelion ; and those who through the lenity of their prosecutors nee nut brought to trial; the evil is enormous, an d, wider Ilse present s)sicin of prison discipline, must int ‘ ,4 Ally go on increasing to as awful extent.
