The report of the Visitini Justices was read. it set forth that the buildings were in a state of efficiency, and in a good sanatory condition. The inmates were healthy, and the prisoners all employed, there had been a good demand for the description of work which they executed. The discipline of the establ.ishmont was well maintained. 'They called attention to the cases of Maria , Fagan, aged 46, who was sentenced in 1854 to 6 years' penal servitude, and Margaret Godwin, aged 47, who sentenced in 1856 to 4 years' penal servitude,whom they thought eligible, to a commutation of their sentence for their good conduct during the whole period of their' incarceration. It was:resolved that the Home Sccretaiy. should be communicated with upon the subject. The_ governor of the jail, Mr. Gibbs, submitted a' report, froth which it appeared that for the year ending 29th September, there were, received into the jail 2,278 prisoners,—being 306 less than the previous year. On that day (the 31st' October,)•there were 302 prisoners in the jail, viz, 245 males, and 57 females. The number, in the corresponding date last year was 405. The - surgeon's report contained some remarks con cerning the accommodation for lunatics. During the year, one man had died from exhaustion, caused by his' refusing his food. They had no proper place to 'keep lunatics, and on one occasion when they had written to the Rome Office respecting a lunatic, it was ten daYs before they received an answer. The CiLiiniktAx suggested a resolution to this effect, —" That the attention of the Home Secretary be called to the delay Which arises in the removal of lunatics to the asyltims!' The resolution was proposed, seconded, and carried.. , - The accounts of the coroners of tho county 'vitae passed—viz.; , Mr. Driffield, who. held 173 ingniests, £385.75. ld., and Mr. Galloway, who hcld four inquests, £6 15s.

E , STRIORDINARY BRITTALITY,r—There is now in 'custody, at ~ Wednesbury, a man named Joseph Hill, who has been guilty of the most revolting brutality upon -an Irishman named John Maloney. Hill nd Maloney, with others, had been .drinking together in Mr. Woodward's public-house, in High-street, before they -proceeded together to the hou s e o f one of the party,, , in a court at the rear of Mr. Woodward's. Here a previously-commenced dispute was resumed, and ?Hill, • seizing Maloney, struck him, and thee held -down his head before the fire, with one hand, whilst with the other he took from the grate a kettle of boffin.. water. He first tried to pour the water down Maloney's throat, , but was unable, and the scalding water ran over Maloney's face. Hill then poured the .water into his victim's ears, and over the other. Portions of his head and face ! Despite his screams and his struggles, Hill continued to hold him in front ,of the fire, and thus greatly .increase the other wise intense torture that he was-.suffering. Here be held him till the poor fellow became burnt as_ well as scalded. When at length Maloney was released, he seemed to have little vitality remaining in his system; the hair came off his head, and his countenance was shockingly disfigured. A surgeon was sent for, and was soon in attendance, but expressed grave doubts of the man's recovery. On Saturday, a local - paper reported that the ease had had a fatal termination, but from sub sequent information this appears to be premature ; that, though still in . a 'dangerous state, and suffering great agony, yet the injuries have not so alarming an appear ance as at Ist they had.
