I told him I would take the responsibility on myself—no warder remained with them. lam quite sure they were left entirely alone. I stayed a short time with them. I confess it was wrong of me. I was aware that Mrs. Strahan was going to sleep that night in the governor's house. I think Mrs. Hill told me before the governor (her husband) and his family left town Mrs. Strahan would on that particular night sleep in the go vernor's house. As the rules had been so far relaxed, I thought it would be no great extension of the indulgence, his seeing her in the house. I did not take him from the cell to the house myself. "Alfred Foster says—l am a warder. I'take down the names of visitors, but it is not my duty to search parcels. I had not before Monday last put the same questions to the visitors of the three bankers as to visitors to other pri soners. It was because I observed visitors passed in by the governor without their names being recorded that I passed visitors to these three prisoners without questioning them. The names since Monday last have been recorded. " Mrs. Sarah Waterworth, matron, says—Once I met the chief warder late walking up and down the corridor. I asked him whether anything was the matter? He said, No ; Mr. Strahan was ill.' It was about eleven at night. I went with }lr. Sims to Mr. Strahan's cell, and asked him whether there was anything I could do for him. He said, 'No.' I once went with the governor some time ago to see a male prisoner. I met Mrs. Strahan in the corridor on the following day, and she said, ' Oh, I believe I have to thank you for your kindness in visiting Mr. Strahan last evening.' " Mr. John Sims further examinod.—l saw the chap lain and Mr. Strahan go into the governor's house. The chaplain made no arrangement for his being taken back. He tepid me a few minutes before that he was going to take him. I said, I don't care where you take them, so as you have authority.' Ha said he had, and mentioned the names of Mr. Burslem and Mr. Halsey. I have seen Mr. Northall Laurie here. He gave me no orders. On the Saturday evening, about seven, Mr. Strahan walkedby himself from the governor's to the cell unattended. The rules since the last meeting of the visiting justices have been strictly ob. served. Paid.' RAILWAIA Leasing Compans. Closing Prices this day; Business this day. A general meeting of the magistracy of Middlesex was held at Clerkenwell yesterday, for the consideration of the business of the county ; Mr. Pownall presided. On the report of the finance and general purposes com mittee, an order was made on the county treasurer for the payment of bills, salaries, and demands, to the amount of 13,7501. Os. 9d., and the ordinary rates were made. MESSRS. STRAHAN, PAUL, AND BATES, IN THE HOUSE OF DETENTION-DISCLOSURES-SUSPENSION OF THE GO- VZRNOR. After the usual report from the visiting justices of the House of Detention had been read and disposed of, Mr. Woodward, the chairman of the committee, read the fol lowing report : "To her Majesty's Justices, &c. Special Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Detention. "It having come to the knowledge of the visiting jus tices that oertain prisoners, committed on a charge of mis demeanour, had not been subjected to the ordinary regu lations of the prison, a searching investigation and inquiry into all the circumstances was at once instituted; and the visiting justices, at the conclusion of 'their investigation, were surprised to find, from the admissions and statements of the various officers examined in the course of the in quiry, that nearly all the rules laid down by the court for the government of the prison, and sanctioned and con firmed as required by law by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, had been deliberately violated by the governor, and also by several officers, in some instances by his express direction. The visiting justices are of opinion that the conduct of the governor has been highly reprehen sible, and they feel it to be their duty to lay the whole of the evidence before the Court for their decision. " CHAS. WOODWARD, Chairman. "House of Detention, July 30." " xvn)Excit. "John Sims, deputy governor, examined.—The governor is on leave of absence. Just previous to his leaving he told me to treat the three prisoners, Strahan, Paul, and Bates in the same way in all respects as up to that time they had been treated. I knew what that treatment was. Visitors to them were admitted at all times of the day without being questioned. Their names were not recorded. On the day after the prisoners came I saw the governor take visitors to their rooms. I have never taken visitors to their rooms myself: I have seen them admitted, and I have seen warders take visitors to those prisoners' rooms. I have known the prisoner Strahan to be taken into the governor's house by the chaplain to see his (Strahan's) wife. The chaplain told me he was going to take Strahan into the house. He said he had authority to do so. It was on last Saturday week. I have never seen either of the prisoners go in at any other time. The three prisoners take exercise together, and they did so before the governor left. They exercise in the governor's gar den before twelve o'clock. On the occasion before al luded to Mrs. Strahan came early in the day, and was taken to the governor's house, where she remained with her husband till about seven in the evening, when they both went to his cell, and she remained there till ten at night. She then returned to the governor's house, where she remained all night. This was on Satur day, and she did not leave until the Sunday evening. Sho breakfasted with him in his cell about half•past eight and remained all day with him, except while he was at chapel. She also went to chapel, but sat in the governor's pew. The cell doors of the three prisoners are left open all day by the governor's order. There are no water-closets or urinals in the cells in which they are. I have not seen the other two prisoners in the governor's house. The friends of Bates have remained as late as half-past eight at night. The average number of visitors daily has been about four to each prisoner. The provisions have been of the ordinary kind. They have wine. I have. taken the three up to Bow-street for examination. The prisoners I there left with the senior warder. The cab hire is charged to the office. The governor told me to pay it. He said he had not made out his bill yet. The letters of the three pri soners sent out, and also those sent in to them, are net examined. I asked the governor whether I was to open their letters. He said No.' I, seeing the governor take down visitors, and that the prisoners were treated differently, did not interfere. When I spoke to Warder Forth about allowing the three prisoners to exercise together and con verse together, he said he had the governor's order for it. " Nathaniel P. Forth says—l am a warder. The prisoner Bates came in on the 20th of June, and went into the in firmary, where he was under the charge of Infirmary Warder Keely. Strahan came in on the 21st of June, and was given over to me, and I put him in No. 16 ordinary cell. Two hours after, Mr. Sims told me to put him in No. 5 room by order of the governor, and I did eo. On the 22d of June Sir John Dean Paul came in. The governor ordered him to No. 3 room. Mr. Sims told me they were to be (mord:od in the yard separately, and watched, and they were for several days, till the [governor took Strahan into his garden. Mr. Strahan used to come round from the governor's garden, and get into the yard where Sir John Dean Paul was. The door is open between the two. It was unlocked, and had been for years. I reported their being together to Mr. Sims. He told me to go to the go venor. I went, and told him they were talking. He told me to take no notice. I reported also to the governor that Mr. Strahan had gone into Sir John D. Paul's room. He told me to take no notice of that. From that time they constantly went into one another's rooms, and took their meals together. Visitors have been in the cells at meal " The Rev. George Jepson further says—Before the go vernor left ho said, to me he Lad been in the habit of pass ing their letters to the three prisoners, Paul, Strahan, and Bates, and asked me if I would object to do the same, and if any letters came addressed to them under cover to me would I pass them in ? and also asked me if I w ould post any letters they might give me, to which I assented, sup posing their family letters were referred to. I received two letters under cover to me for Mr. Bates from Brussels, which Mr. Bates said came from his brother. I posted two letters, one from Mr. Strahan to his wife, and the other from Sir John Dean Paul to his sister. " August 20. "Mr. Frederick Wm. Hill, the governor, says—Having heard the evidence read, I admit the general correctness of it. I said to Sims on leaving, 'Go on quietly.' That is all I remember saying *ith respect to the three prisoners. Up to the time of my leaving visitors came at all times, as many as liked together, and stopped as long as they pleased, by my permission. There was no written order of a visit ing justice to permit the prisoners to see visitors out of the appropriated places. No visiting justice gave directions that the rules should be relaxed. Ordinarily visitors are not admitted into the cells ; the visitors to Strahan, Paul, and Bates were.. A gentleman from the court of Bank ruptcy came soon after they were admitted, and said it was necessary to see them together, and I allowed him to see them together. After that they asked me to allow them to communicate and associate in each ether's rooms, and I permitted them. I knew their cell doors were not locked, but I never recollect giving orders that they should be left unlocked. I saw Strahan, Paul, and Bates exercising to gether. Although I do not recollect ordering the cell doors to be left unlocked, I certainly knew they were not locked. Silence was not maintained by these three prisoners, and they were not invariably attended by an officer. Rule 22 has not, I freely admit, been observed. Letters addressed to them came by post in the ordinary way, and were not opened. I admit the statement of the chaplain, that on leaving the prison I requested him to receive letters ad dressed to him under cover for the prisoners. Visitors were admitted on a Sunday, although it is directly contrary to rule 22. It was with my authority. I gave no authority or permission for the chaplain taking Mr. Strahan into m house. Sir John D. Paul had two glasses of Nine a-day by the written order of the surgeon. I gave permission to the warder to go out and fetch wine for the other prisoners. Strain* and Bates, but I believe there is no written order for those two having wine. " Rev. George Jepson further examined—With respect to the prisoner Strahan seeing his wife in the governor's house, I did not tell Sims that I had authority to do it. 1 mentioned the names of two magistrates, Mr. Halsey and Mr. Burslem, they having expressed a wish that indulgence should be granted to the prisoners, Strahan, Paul, and Bates, consistently with their safe custody. I did not say to Sims that Mr. Halsey and Mr. Burselin had authorised it. I did it under the idea that they (the prisoners) had been allowed certain privileges, and from conversation I had had with Mr. Halsey and Mr. Burslem I thought that both those gentlemen and the committee would have no objection to it. Nothing transpired between me and th& governor about Mrs. Strahan sleeping there; the first I heard of it was from Mrs. Hill. She said Mrs. Strahan was coining up from the country, and had inquired whether she (Mrs. Hill) could accommodate her with a bed. I did in form Mr. Bates, after the governor had left, that com munications might be made to him under cover to me. Th, , letters from Brussels I gave to Mr. Bates, and he told me they were from his brother. time—Mrs. Strahan, Mrs. Bates, and Mrs. Bates's nurse. Filsil and Merrick are my sulsy. Bates is still in the octa gon room—the infirmary. He was not treated by the sur geon. When they visited sack other they went from one floor to another The warders did not interfere. I know that Mrs. Strahan was in the cell at dinner time, and a gentleman visitor also. I took a bottle of wine from Mr. Strahan's room, No. 5; it was in a portmanteau. Mr. Sims ordered me to search the portmanteau and cell. I put it back in the portmanteau, locked that, and kept the key. I reported it to Mr. Sims. When he came ba:;k I gave the key to Filsil. I found a box in my store. I examined it, and found one full bottle of !wine and part of a bottle. Mr. Sims took the box away, wine and all ; it was marked on the front from a biscuit shop. The go vernor told me the visitors and friends were to be passed in, and allowed to go into their cells. "John Sims further examined—The governor was absent when Strahan left. When Strahan left he made an obser vation to Forth, the officer of the division. I did not hear it, but Forth told me it was that I had acted harshly; but that Capt. Hill had treated him kindly, and that he shoul, reward him for his trouble. The governor told me to treat them as he had directed, and that he should return in August. The day that I expected the governor back the ohief clerk told me that the chaplain had said the go vernor would not be back for a fortnight. I have seen gentlemen visit Shahan with fruit baskets in their hands. " October S. " Nathani. c t P. Forth, further examined, says—On the mornin; Mr. Strahau went oat, the 2d August, he said, `You are getting more harsh every day, and the next thing I expect to hear is to go into a common cell.' H e said The magistrates are a set of Radicals—(a loud laugh in court)—they aro no gentlemen; never mind I leave you to-day, but as for Capt. Hill, I shall reward him for his kindness to me.' I reported that to the deputy-go vernor immediately afterwards. Strahan had his money, watch, and other articles in his possession ; they had not been taken from him ; by the rules they ought to have been. I had charge of Strahan on his first coming in. 1 put him in a common cell. In about two hours after ward 6 he was removed to the octagon room by the governor. When Sir J. D. Paul and Mr. Bates came in there was room for them in common cells. Bates was sent up di rectly to the infirmary, and Sir J. D. Paul into No. 3 room, both of which are octagon rooms." Frederick Filsil says-- I am a sub-warder. Strahan and Bates have been under my care. I found Strahan in No. 5, and Bates in the infirmary. For the first week the infirmary warder had charge of Bates ; afterwards I had charge of him in the gallery. On the 23d of June Strahan asked me to order him a bottle of sherry. I said I would speak to the governor, which I did. He said, Yes ; i is all right ;' and he said at the same time something about the doctor, but I cannot say exactly what it was. I order e d a bottle of wine, and took it to Strahan's room. I drew the cork and left the bottle and a wine glass in the room. I reported to Forth, a warder, that the prisoners had been in the habit of going into each other's rooms. _forth said, The governor says you are not to notice it. They were in the habit of going to each other's rooms, 'frequently. I saw on one occasion four female visitors in Mr. Bates's room at one time —one was his wife, 'One his daughter, one his niece, and the nurse, I have Been them all four there on more than one occasion. I have seen all three in Mr. Strahan's room at one time—Mrs. StAhan and two gentle. men. I took from Mr. Bates's room last Monday part of a bottle of wine. In his room I saw a pork pie, some Ger man sausage, a currant pie, and wine. As late as eight or n i ce Mrs. Strahan and Mre. Bates have been in the cells. The lady visitors had baskets. Strahan's servant brought him in a basket some nevegaid eggs. The baskets were not ar ps C o. a l w a cannoti,4x u r in. 181, s ltr. why I did not search the m , b u t I p passed other officers did not.

The box was there near a week. I afterwards saw it in T iorth's store. I never received express orders not to eriarch the visitors. I once saw Mr. Strahan with his wi."ie in the governor's house. James Merrick says—l 'am a sub-warder. I have had cha r y of Cr John Dean Paul. For a few days he was treated as other prisoners. About a week after Mr. Stra ban had been here I saw him go to Sir J. D. Paul's room. I reported it to warder Forth. no said he would ask the governor about it. In about an hour be said he had spoken to the governor, who said we were to take no notice of it. It would be my duty to stop a prisoner going from one cell to another. For some days the cell doors of Strahan, Paul, and Bates were kept locked. Then the warder told me they were to be kept unlocked and on the jar. It was Forth told me so. I saw wine on the mantel-piece of Sir J. D, Paul's room. I reported it to Forth. I spoke to Sir John about the wine, and he said, `I suppose the governor ordered it, for I have spoken to him.' Visitors were allowed to go into the rooms and remain any time. I have seen them whilst exercising together conversing with each other. I have neverseen more than one visitor at a time in Sir J. D. Paul's room, but he could go if he plea se d t o the other two prisoner's rooms whilst visitors were th ere . them Let tterso m were to deliver . redelivered 7 to them unopened. M r . S i ms gave Mr. Woodward said that having been called upon by the chairman to lead the report he had obeyed the summons, and it became his painful duty to rise, as chairman of the visiting justices of the House of Detention, and he must say that ever since he had been in the commission of the peace he had never done so under more painful emotions than oil the present occasion. The visiting justices were called upon from time to time to make reports on the state of the prison, and were required by act of Parliament to state in those reports whether there had been any devia tion from the rules laid down for the regulation of the prison, and sanctioned by the secretary of State. Under those circumstances, therefore, it was quite impossible that the committee of visiting justices could do otherwise than bring - the subject under the notice of the court. It might be as well for him, as the magistrates might not remember the different points contained in the report, to give them a brief epitome of the evidence embraced in it on the subject. It was well known that by the regulations of the prison no magistrate was permitted to be on the committee of ♦isi tors for a longer period than twelve months, and having served the time he went off, but was subsequently re-elected. On his (Mr. Woodward's) return to office, he went to the prison and inquired particularly of the governor as to the treatment of three particular prisoners, and on being in formed that they had required certain things within the power of the visiting justices to grant, he wished them to be shown all the indulgence that could possibly be extended to them, consistent with the rules of the prison. As their prison was one merely for safe custody, and not one of punishment, he (Mr. Woodward) inquired if they dieted themselves, as persons were allowed to have what neces saries (but not luxuries) they liked, and to purchase for themselves all that might be deemed to be reasonable. The answers he received from the governor gave him no reason to believe that those rules bad been departed from, but a few days afterwards he was informed by a magistrate who was not on the committee that the rules had been greatly deviated from and infringed. On the Monday morning lie went to the prison, where he saw the deputy-governor, the governor then being on leave of absence on his usual an nual holiday, and put to him several questions, and he learned that the rules had in several cases been infringed in respect of those three prisoners. Further inquiries were then made, and the evidence that had been read was taken upon the subject. The regulations of the prison required that prisoners should not associate or converse with one another, but it appeared that these prisoners were allowed to associate, converse, and walk with each other, in vio lation of those rules, and without any consent previously obtained from the visiting justices. The regulations of the prison allowed prisoners to see two friends daily, but n©t together, and then only for 20 minutes at a time, ex cept with the express permission of the governor under very special circumstances. In the case of these prisoners, however, persons were admitted without their names being taken indiscriminately at all hours ; and as to letters, which, by the rules, were required to be examined, they were received and passed without being seen or opened by the governor, and the prisoners were also allowed to send out letters to their friends without having to line ergo the usual supervision of the governor. If thero was any excuse to be offered at all for any one, it was to be made on the part of the chaplain, whose duty was of a kindly character, but he had been admonished to attend solely to his duties for the future, but on this ;natter he runs He :s as other pri soners put in the " William Seely says — l am infirmary warder.

While under my charge I kept the cell locked. His wife was the only person who saw him after the regular hours. He took no medicine while in the in firmary. He had nothing but plain diet. He was given over at the end of Bor 9 days to another warder. The in firmary was not occupied when Bates c ame into th e p r i son. " The Rev. George Jepson, chaplain, says--The three prisoners, Strahan, Paul, and Bates, have had the oppor tunity of taking exercise together. I have seen two of them together. I know they have had privileges as to visitors ; once when I welt to the cell of Mr. Strahan his wife and brother were there, so I did not go in. Nothing has passed between me and the governor respecting the three prisoners ; he merely said when he went away, I hope these three gentlemen will eontinue to have the same indulgence.' One day I went to Mr. Strahan's cell; he was ill. His wife was coming that day to see him, and I sug gested that he should see her in the governor's house. Strahan objected to it at first, but I urged it on him. I told Sims of it. There was no officer left with Mr.Strahan and hie if all day in the holm, I told Sinn I thought i London & N. West. L. &N.

Consequently, if the governor had experienced any difficulty in the course of the week, by then bringing it forward he could easily have removed the responsibility from his own shoulders and thrown it upon the committee. While they could not conceal the fact that he had acted in violation of the rules, it was the decided opinion of the visiting justices that the governor had not been actuated by any improper motives. If they had not that opinion he would not have retained the confidence of the magi strates of the county one day longer. Of that he (Mr. Woodward) was fully persuaded, and believed that Mr. Hill, as governor of the House of Detention, had allowed his kindlier l'eelings to get the better of his sense of duty, which induced him to yield in the way ho had done. He should conclude by moving a resolution that he thought would meet the full justice of the case, and would at the same time satisfy the public, that if hereafter there should be any difference made in the treatment of prisoners sent to the House of Detention, it would be found out by the visiting justices, and the case of the persons in whose fa vour the difference was made would be brought before the court and dealt with accordingly. He concluded by mov ing a resolution to the effect that the governor of the House of Detention be called in and publicly reprimanded, for the manner in which he had permitted the rules and regu lations of the prison to be broken and violated, by himself personally as well as by the subordinate officers of the prison. Mr. W. P. BODKIN, in seconding the resolution that had just been brought before the notice of the court by Mr. Woodward, said it was not without considerable hesitation on his part that he had come to the conclusion that the resolution now proposed was the proper mode to deal with this matter. The governor, by his example, had shown a total disregard of all the rules and regulations that should be set by a superior officer to his subordinates—rules which it wan his bounden duty to respect and maintain— and in acceding to the resolution he thought they were barely discharging their duty to the public, to their brother magistrates, and to themselves, and instead of fol lowing it up by•more serious results, to deal with it by a public reprimand. As far as he was aware of the indiscretion of Mr. Hill, they had no reason to complain in any other instance than the present. If they had, he should not have voted for a simple reprimand, but that he should at once be dismissed from his situation. He concluded by second ing the resolution that had been submitted to the court. Mr. Burslem and Mr. Halsey both strongly denied that they had ever given any instructions as to a violation of the rules of the prison, either directly or indirectly. Mr. Williams, M.P., thought the proposition of the worthy magistrate did not deal sufficiently with the ques tion, where there had been a flagrant violation of the rules of the court, sanctioned by the Secretary of State. They had that day dismissed seven inferior officers for very venial crimes. [lt may be necessary here to state that this was in allusion to a matter referred to in the report of the visit ing justices of the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, in which it wakrecommended that seven sub-warders should be dismissed for having employed prisoners to perform trifling services for them, the gravest part of the charge being that thO Vfisoners engraved the warders' names on bits of metal to be attached to coffee-pots to be used in the prison, which recommendation was confirmed by the court.] But in this case there was a violation of all rules on the part of the superior officer of the prison. After such continued viola tions of the rules by the governor, as set forth in the speech of the gentleman who seconded the resolution, he was sur prised that he should have come to the conclusions he had stated. He thought it was a question that ought to receive their consideration, and that at least in the meantime the governor should be suspended. It might be that the magic irates would be charged with making regulations to which they obtained the sanction of the Secretary of State, but which they allowed openly to be violated. They should re member the public eye was on them, and they should be especially careful to deal out even-handed justice. The governor having taken all the responsibility upon himself, and having actually allowed one of the visitors to sleep in Isis house all night, he could not see how the magistrates could acquit themselves in public opinion by dealing with the case in the way proposed by the resolution. Mr. KIRBY, said, as he thought the question was of ex treme importance, he was not in favour of its being dis posed of in the hasty way now proposed. The public eye was upon them, and what, was now said would bereported, and it would go forth to the public to-morrow in the papers that these three persons while in the prison had lived there with as much freedom as in their own houses. There could be no charge of a more serious nature, and he could see nothing whatever to justify the governor in the course he had taken on the present occasion. The governor had the power to appeal to the committee if he wished to make a relaxation of the rules in favour of any individuals, but nothing could.jastify him in the course he had taken, or them in dealing with it in the manner proposed. Their rules had been set at nought, and it would go forth to• morrow in the press, and be carried to every house in the , ountry—and what would be said of the magistrates? \Would it not be said that the poor man fora trifling offence was treated with harshness, but to the highly criminal offenders the gi t eatest leniency was shown ? He hoped, therefore, that the matter would be reconsidered, and not disposed of in the hasty way that was proposed, Mr. ARMSTRONG said in the early part of the day he was ,'alled upon to confirm a recommendation to discharge several subordinate officers, and although there was but a slight charge against two, they felt it to be their duty to discharge the whole of them ; but what would bO a repri mand to an individual under a much graver charge, who would then walk out of this court unscathed and un touched ? If they tolerated this offence, it would soon spread through the other institutions of the country, and would prevent them visiting other officers with anything beyond a reprimand, let their offences bo what they might. 4,s their rules were subject to a higher power in the person of the Secretary of State, he thought they had no right to let the matter pass over without getting his sanction to the course that the court should pursue, as the rules that he had sanctioned and approved had been violated by their governor. After that, in common fairness to the minor culprits, they ought to go something beyond a mere repri mand ; but before they came to any decision, he should like to hear what the governor had to say in his defence. Before they ridded themselves of the matter, and passed sentence upon Mr. Hill, he thought that the evidence taken should he submitted to the Secretary of State. Mr. E. E. ANTROBUS said he could not forget that he had that day been a party to the dismissal of seven officers of the House of Correction, Coldbath fields, and one of the House of Correction at Westminster for misconduct; and he could not see how they could pass over one of the graven' offences that had ever been committed since he had h a d the honour of being in the couiraission of the peace. He moved as an amendment :—" That the Governor of the Hbuse of Detention bo suspended, and that the evidence that has been taken be circulated and taken into considera. tion on a future day." Mr. GOODHART seconded the amendment. Mr. W. PAYNE remarked that they should not lose sight of the fact that the great object of this prison was to secure prisoners from escape, so that they might be forthcoming on a future day in a court of justice. By the rules of the prison persons ;were required to do certain work, such as to make their own tea and wash the yards and cells of the prison ; but, by application to two justiceP, he found that certain privileges could be granted to them in their exemp tion from such duties. He found also that by the rules pri soners could have a pint of wine per day. (A. laugh and cries of " Porter.") Gentlemen might laugh at it, but he would read it to them from their own printed regulations for the House of Correction, Coldbath fields, and House cf Detention. (Mr. Payne here read from a report that prisoners might be exempted from having their hair cut, from bathing, &c., but it ap peared that it was an old copy of the rules not now in force.) Mr. Payne said if these rules were obsolete he could say nothing more upon them, but still be ob tained from them this fact, that at that time certain pri vileges were granted to certain individuals. It was in this way that the COIIIII2OII thief or prostitute did not want such privileges as were granted to parties in a higher stage of life. He thought the governor aoted from superabundant kindness, and if he erred it was only on the side of kind. ness, and not with any intention to do wrong. He believed _ . that justice wou, be fully administered by adopting the course pointed out by the resolution. Mr. WOODWARb, in reply, said that some gentleman had remarked that the eyes of the public were upon them in reference to that question, and such no doubt would be the case, but the proceedings of that day would show that it could not be done without coming under the notice of the court. If the governor, or other officer, violated the rules of the prison, it would be found out by the visiting justice, and he believed the justice of the case would be answered in the way he had proposed. If the governor was reprimanded it would go forth to this:public, which would in itself be a great punishment to a person in his position, and it was by no means necessary to keep the matter open for further discussion. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, when there ap peared— For the amendment 24 Against ik....... , • 5 Majoiltflor the amendment —lo The ansendmelq yf as then declared to be carried, and Air.
