The deter. ruined and active officer was not to be intimidated rfi the discharge of his important duty, but pro. ceecird to search the rooms on the first flight ; as cending higher he looked through a key-hule, and perceiving the shadow of a man within, fearlessly declared his bovines', slid demanded his prisoner, and on threatening I. force his way through all im pedimeuts, the door was opened, and M'Curmick yielded himself. The other persons included in the warrant wete taken in Ch tries-street, whence one man made so ineffectual attempt to escape through a hack door. All the prisoners were safely lodged in Newgate. At one o'clock yesterday Alderman Jones, as Coroner, attended the Sheriff's prison, iii the cli4. pep of ',bid) a Jury was summoned, and an inquest bed. Mr. IL Semiet attended as agent tOr the prosecution, and Mr. T. Taafe on behalf of the Prisoners.

Irwin refused to. go with the.mett who held him, his hands were then bleeding ; one of the bailiffs swore most violently that if y! he *avid not go to prison with him the Wouldmurder him. Peace-officer Philips was next examined.—He deposed as to the declaration of the deceased prc- • tidies to his death ; it was in substance as above. Aldertnaa Jonts deprecated, in strong terms, the barbarous conduct of, the bailiff* towards their wretched Prtsuner—at the same time animadverted Go th e n eeeesiey of due submission to the laws in all cases where action* were marked against debtors, and in conclusion told the Jury that, having been assembled duty for the purpose of inquiring how the deceased came by his death, he conceited that hule difficulty opposed i.self to conviction in the care then 'wrier their considerstihn. -The bode of the deceased was examined, •ntl the two ghastly wounds inspected, ThePriooren' were in the room during the In guts's, and were beard in t)seir defence—they were then withdrawn to Neirgate,, and after some short deliberation, the Jury found the following ter did We find that the deceased Walter [rain came by his - death 'in consequence of wounds in flicted on him with some sharp instrument, by James Bovilesand James Connell, and that William fletherington and .Wes. 31•Cormick were during part of the time present, armed with • cane-sword mod pistol."

IVEIV .111I1•11 WALE& ..31 inTRAcr PROM THE REPORT OP TIIR COMMIS IHONIIR OP INQUIRY 14TO THE STATE OR THE COLONY or NEW Solllll (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Upon the second point I would observe, that Mr. Marsden had on one special occasion made surong rerremioution to Governor Macquarie 'Mo sel? upon the stare of the factory at Paraniatta, and upon the sell more di plorable state of the hospital at Via place ; but that, observing that no measures were tin in the colony to remedy these evils, and that he hail no influence ill disposing the GoVerlior to apply any portion of his merms to afford it, he abandoned the hope of producing any effect by per sonal or written communications to him; but I have not heard or k•iown of any that he addressed to your lordship on these subjects. lie bad pre viously remarked, in conversation to the Governor, on the injudicious severity and length of certain punishments inflicted by the criminal courts of the colony, and warned him of the comp querices of their being brought to public notice in England; and, when the mar:inert' of Mr. Bayley, in which these circumstances were set forth, was trmismitied by you► Lordship ■s a charge against the Governor's administration, suspicion then arose in his mind that Mr. Marsden was the author of the statement. It is, I conceive, upon this suspicion, mid from au impatience natural to those in the po•aession of un controlled power, of any act that has a tendency to expose or repress what is wrong in its exercise, thst Governor Macquarie thenceforth regarded Mr. Marsden in the characters that he has imputed to him : first, of hieing a secret maligner and detractor ;• and, secondly, of being an open and avowed ene my. Admitting these charges against Mr. Marsden to be true (I conclusion to which neither my inquiries nor the evidence before me will warrant), they are, for offences, of a nature rather permuted to Governor Macquarie, and therefore more fitted for adjust ment by private explanation ; but they could not furnish an excuse fur his frequent departure from the courtesies of language, that are usual in all official communications, or for wounding the feel ings of so eminently useful Magistrate, by casting' art unmerited reflection upon the circumstances of his reti►ement. • In consequence of that retirement, in the month of March Isle, a greet burden of public buiiiness fell upon Mr. IL bit M'Artliur, and it was not till the early part of the }ear 1819 that any other addition was made to the number of magiatratiss. In counderation of these circuinstatices and of the increasing population, it is ntrit'er of wonder, 04 well as of regret, that Guveruur Macquarrie did net sooner avail himself of the services , of certain indi-. 'Aught in the colony, who would have made the dii ties of the local magistracy less onerous. This subject had been suggested, though not in an offi cial shape, to Governor MacqUarrie, by Mr. Judge Advocate IVylele, who had Natter pointed out the nausea of Mr. Oxley, Mr. G. Palmer, Lieut. B-11, Mr. Harris, Sir John Jainieson, Mr. Edward Riley, and others, as highly deseiviug of such an ap pointment. Of these Gentlemen, all were qualified to dis charge the duties of the magistracy ; and the only one to whimthe offer was made (Mr. G. Palmer), .1 for certain personal enasiderattons decli , psi it. These Gentlemen, as Mr. Judge Advocate IWylde has justly observed, would have supplied the want of assistance that existed for sonic time in the local management and correction of the convicts ; whereby the aversion of masters to the trouble and inconvenience orresortiiire to their authority would base been greatly din iuishrd. the dircipline of the convicts would have been better maintained, and the discretion exercised in directing that discipline would hive been more extended. The expediency of adding to the number of ma gistrates of Sydney an. still mote apparent, as after the departure of Mr. E. Riley and Mr. Broughton there remained only Mr. S. Lord, and occasionally Mr. Brooke, to aristat Mr. %Vent worth in the weekly • duties of the police, sod to discharge the still more • important duty of assistant member of the Supreme Court. After the disenteion that had taken place ' between Mr..J. 11. Bent sod Governor Macciesar ries on the admission of peesniis who had hien con victs to practi-e in the courts as attorneys, the negative that your Lordship hes been pleased to give to their admission to the court,, nod the little estimation in which she character of Mr. Lord was held, it was tint without surprise that l found that • he had been one of the first persons selected by Governor Alactrarrie to eit upon the bench of the supreme court with Mr. Justice Field at Sj dney, on his arrival. Mr. D'Arcy Wentworth was the other member of his court, and although the respect of Mr. Justice Field fur the Governor, would at that moment have restrained him from making nny ob jections to the nominatioh of Mr. Lord, .1 lie had 'even been acquainted with the circumstances of his situation, yet he expressed to me the feelings of indignation with which he her since regarded this nltPoiolmerrls sod the want of candour in Governor Macquarrie, in not sooner making him acquainted with the nature of it. _ • It appears that Captain riper and Dr. Dorris, who were appointed in Him were then resident in Sydney, its well as Mr. E; Riley, and were in every paint of view more At for the discharge of the ditties assigned to Mr. Lord. In the Windsor di,- -Wei, after the..ersiguatioa of the Rev. Mr. Cart wright, the Magistratea nasfrieted of Mr. Cot Mr. MSelbow , and Captain Malaya. The first o f theine gentlemen is not wanting in miticity, or in many of ttie 9nafitfea that are essential in a Magistrate who Is /o_iiirisier 'the law iit.ble.a SastililVaha. • At 41 7 11 it was Ova/Mot Mrskairme, mid ogrieted -,,.~. by Captain Oratyp aria Mr. Mi he former un officer of the ►eteran companies, and the latter the As.istant.Surgeon on the Colonial E.tiblish meta. From the observations I. was eimbled to make of thieve individual., it is lio disparagement to them to remark, that the addition of Lieutenant Bell (the person recommended by the Jtedge.Ad. vocate to Governor Msequarrie), was in every re. spect desirable ; Lientehant Bell now acts in the dirtfiets of 11'ioti.er, and that part of the Rich mood diqrict th.tt is un the left bank of the river I have already had occasion to observe, thnt until the month of March, 1820, the jurisdiction Of ninny of the magistrates was limited by the terms of their commi/4101.6 to certain districts, the bouts darn!, of which nut having been clearly defined, some of the magistrates had unknowingly exposed themselves to the consequences of emit% without jurisdiction. This inconvenience had more than once been sug gested to Governor Macquarrie by Mr. J vocate Wylde, on his arrival; and on the appoint ment of Mr. Brooks to the magistracy, in the month of A itiittot, 1817, when he was appointed a magistrate of " the territory of New South Wales ;" but • !united district appointment was subsequently given to Captain Braila, and Mr. Howe and Lieu tenant Bell were made magistrates of the coanty of Cumbeillial, while Sir Joint Jamieson, Captain Piper, Mr, llorris, and Mr. Reciter!), were made magistrates of " the whole territory." Goternor Macquarrie did nit thus think it ex petiient or necee.snry at that time to adopt the Judge . Advocate's suggesiton genera lly; and the jurisdic tions of the magistrates remained in this unsettled st ifs until the month of February. 1820, when, without any later comotimication with the Judge- Advocate than that which is just now mentioned, Governor Ma«ioarrie issued on order in the Sydney Gurette, in which, " after stating that certain of the precepts constituting magistrates within the county of Cumberland had not sufficiently distinct ly expressed that they were iitteniteil fur the county at large, as they should have door, whereby a doubt hod arisen about the said cot tttttt batons giving • jurisdiction by and the limits of the !sortie-War dis tricts wherein the magistrates happened to reside, his Excellency the Governor was pleased to notify to all ',ergot's coi,certied, that the magistrates hold ing such cretimisoions of the peace were to be deemed and considered the magistrates of the county of Cumberland ; and that in all general meeinigs of the maporate s they were to take rank and precedency ar Cording to the dates of their cow miss oils." It is to be regretted, that the nature and unfre queitcy of Governor Macqnarrie's official commit me:atoms with Mr. Judge-Advocate We'ylde, at iha period of issuing this order, had not prevented the appearance of a document, which attributed to him nod his predecessors a want of professional ohm tion toms object of "such importance as the terms of commissions. Idu not think that such an intention us imputrible torGuternor Nlacquarre, or his secretary, fur a cursory fierusal of the docu ment Itself, or those to which it referred, woull satisfy any person that the evil arising from the ambiguity of tile terms of throe commissions, and which it offected to regret hnid mat rested with the person who drew them up, but wiali the person who gave the directions; and Mr. Judge-Advocate leV)ide has satisfactottly proved, that in his aline the commissions were made out from, sod strictly pursued, the dire ctions of the Governor him self. It woo therefore front a defective prin ciple of limitation, and not a defect in the terms of the commissions, or want of techni cality, that the evil consequences of am higisity had arisen. Thu, the appointment of " the lieverend Henry Fulton, c!erk, of Castlereagh, to be Justice of the !'race nod Magistrate fir the township of Castleremeh suit district of Evan, both in the county of Cumbarland," could only imply that his jurisdiction was limited to those distil( to which were situated in that comity. The terms of the appointment II Mr. Cux, designated loin " to be ■ Nlagistrate in the district of the I-Inarkelibury and county of Cirmherlairil;" and those again of the appciniment of Mr. Hannibal M'Arthiir, expressly . limited his jurisdiction to the town of Parantatia and the adjoining districts, without tuentioeung the county. Mr. Judge. Advocate Wylde did not fail; at an early opportunity, after the appearance of the order, to - point cut to the Governor the inefficacy and iiicorrectoess of such u proceeding, amid of confer ring such new and enlarged jurisdiction in any du- CUlPellt less formol than Ilium of a ncw commission. The Governor, when convinced of his error, con sented to adopt the recommendation of Mr. Wyllie, and • commission was 'accordingly issued on the 3 tat March 1820, wherein all the meliorates whose jurisdiction hod been hitherto limited, or supposed to be limited, to districts, received commissions for the whole county of Cumberland. Till the awesome* of the order of the 9d February, 180, it -has been costowary . to assign rank and precedence to the Magistreses in New South Wales on public occasions, according to the extent of their jeirisdiction, and not according to the sonority of their commiasions thus there were Magistrates for the territory and its dePendewcies, blegestrates for the territory only ; Magistrates far the county of Cumberland, and Magistrates r6r the districts ; but when, by the or der of the s:b February * 1830, the Magistrates of the'd:etricts were elevated to the rank of trues of the colicty, and all Were 'to take prece dence according to the dater of their cbsomissions, Governor hlacquarrie yielded •to the apprehensions' of some of them, tespectitig this sudden sonihilstion of their rook, laud recommended, that although the rule of aeniosity should decide their places open) the bench, yet !hat on public occasions uud cere monies. rank should he accorded, first to those who were Magistrates of the wintery and its depen dencies ;• secondly, to those who were Magistrates of the territory only; sod, thirdly, to those who were Mogistrates of the county of Cumberland. Mr. Judge-Advocate Wyllie inivingudOted vernor Macliiinirie, in answer to an inquiry of his Secretary, that sucli declaristion of rank could nut, with any propriety, he introduced into a precept, he proposed that a eindrission,liiclesoing the names of the Mulisteutes, terwhons new ehd enforced juris diction was given, ihotlld be publesited„ which errs ireordingly crone, - end neciefeteuce being more' to their reek ,of predidence, theseiOints coofiniao to be subject to the provisions of the inter of the 3d February 1340, and which remaining unrrpealed by any subsequent declnration (except to Magistrate' or the territory and its dependencies. only two in slumber, viz. Mr. J. T. CH•lipheil and Mr. Minchin) forms the existing rule of their present precedence. i- :' 7+-7 . Control of Convicts in the Service of Settlers. The proceeding's before the Magistrates against the convicts in the employ of Government and Pettlem, as well as those holding tickets of leave, are taken upon nails ; and rough minutes of the evi dence are mute by a clerk, which are afterwards entered in their hocks, teg,ther with the sentence inflicted. These bmks rile called records, arid they appear to have been kept with regularity, un til the increase of business caused some arrear to take ;dace in the entries of the pro' eirfingv, espe cially in those of Paiainstta, Sydney. and Windsor. I observed also that the entrit, in the police-book at Sydney, that were in Ow hand-writing of Mr. Robert Ivy ihrop Murray, who ar•ted as clerk to the Magistrates, rind superintendent of police, until the mouth of February, 18.2 d, were very loosely made. The nature or their business consists chiefly of examinations into the reports and informations of the constables, and the complaints made by the superintendents and the settlers "against their con vict servant. for neglect or work, or for petty theft,. Capital offences, if attended with circumstances of atrocity or violence, are referred, with the examina tions, to the con,iderailon of t he Judge-Advocate; hut burgl tries, robberies in dwelling-houses, and sometimes forgeries, are tried and punished by the Magistrates, at their weekly meetings, wheu there is a full attendance. The returns of offences brought before the ma gistrates of New South Wales, and the punishments inflicted by diem, are contained in several docu ments of the Appendix. They exhibit an enumer talon and descrtption of the offences brought before the police magistrates of Sydney, from the Bth of !tley 1817. to the 91st December 1820; of the same particulars nt Par:mans, from the 4th of March 1815, to the 30th of September 1820; of those at Windsor, from the Ist of January 1818, to the 30th of December 1820; of those in the dis trict of Ewan, from the 2311 of October 1819 (die date of the establishment of the bench there) to the 20th of December 1820; and finally those of Bathurst, from the 6th of November 1819 to the 9th of October 1820. By an omission tit:o4m purely accidental, I did not receive • similar return of the offences and punishments at Liverpool, mud I did not thiek it necessary to lake a wider retrospect of those at Sydney, although the books were submitted to me by Mr. Wentworth, and appeared to have been kept with some regularity, together with an alpha belies! reference in the names of the offending parties annexed to the annual record, which I did not observe in any of the oiler books. An ab stract has been made from these several returns, showing the nature and number of the offences com mitted by convicts in the dal'. -rent districts in each year. The most trtll:l•Lible circumstance to he col lected from these documents, is the increase of crime that appears to hare taken pl rye in the town end districts of S ) dnty in the year 1820. The amount of the convict population there, at taken by the muster of . the year 1819, was 4.231, of whom 547 were stated to be females. la the month of Sep tember 1920, the population (- these districts, es collected by the mogPorsits, amoiireed to 4,457, of whom only 149 were stated to be females. This. great decrease in the female population, and the little increase in the male CJIIVICi population, is chit fly sttributahle to the different manner iii which the musters of the two years were taken. At the first, and indeed at in my previous mus ters, with • view to meet the convenience. of individuals, who had property. at a distance and bved at Sydney, the returns of their convict err vents were allowed to he made in the places where the masters either resided, or food it most court.- silent to present them, instead of being made in the districts where the convicts were actually employed ; insomuch,. that the numealcal population of each district was not only in. sorne: instances swelled beyond its actu rl Nipnutit, hut it also happened that doti!de returns hawing been made for the same c•livicts in different placer, the numerical arrrount of the whole convict populetiort has been further in creased. The musters of the year 1820 were taken by the magistrates of the districts, and it was gene r,dly requested that the returns of non-resident owners of estates. both of property and convicts, should be made in the cl,sttirts in which they re spectively were at the. time ; some difficulty oc curred in inductog the inhabitants, even of the higher classes, to co,,i'am to this rule ; and they persisted in making their returns at the places in which they had mitsle them before, and that they found most convenient to themselves. . . This circumstance I beliese to have occasioned the great difference in the amounts of the 'trend classes of population in New Stittlt Wale., that is perceivable in the returns of 1819 and 1820, and which ecea•istied Governor Macquarrie to sub mit them again tn the, miegistrptes for revision in the early part of the year tail. I have since re ceived information, that an order was issued to that effect on the 17th March ISM but the re sult has not Yet leached 4ic. Talting.the numbers, however, as they uppear on the retains, and •llow ing that the whole convict population in the dietract of y_ilney amounted in October 0119, to 4,231, the o ffences copuni ted by convicts in that district. smoLuited to 649, and in the year 1820, when Hie convict population ob i the same district, as taken by the Magistrates, amounted to 4,437, the offence* committed by einivicts, and punished by the magistrate?, amounted to 1,317, exclusive of those of a higher nature, and that were tried before the criminal courts. This augmentation has prin cipally taken place in the offences of being absent without leave, ur from the barracks, in attempts to cut nut veinal', and to rob, in tkaorderly conduct and intoxication, in entering houan to steal, iu the inaolence of the convicts to their overseers, in the pUrchsse anal' ask of slop-clotbing, tu rinsing away, in rioting, aqd in stealing the properly of Government and of individuals.
