Ilt. GOOD'S PUSION.

A letter from the Home Office, dated the 3rd
February, 1881, stated, in reply to the letter from
the Clerk of the Peace, respecting the penal in of Mr.
Good, that the origioal intimation of the Treasury,
communicated to the Governor of the Prison a
September, 1881, was mad* by that Board under •
mis-apprehensiou of Mr. Good's position and claims
under the Prison Act, and that at • re-onessideratiou
of the cam their Lordships have felt warranted in
making the award sines communicated.
Mr. B. B. MIDDLITOI bad the following motion on
the agenda for consideration i That this Court
agree to pay to Mr. Good, late surgeon at Her
Majesty's Prima at Dorchester, an annual
amounting to twO-thirds of hie salary and emoluments,
being the rate of pension awarded to other officers of
the prison and that the usual reconunsodation be
forthwith transmitted to the Secretary of State." Hs,
however, asked the consent of the Court to withdraw
the modes.
The according to a letter from the
Hoene WilMatiread. 'mounted to £43 lie, 141.,
of which Si 'Ts. ed. was payable by the 'gusty and
£6 10s. by the Government.
A long discussion ensued, in the course et which Mr.
MAINLY said last time it warn • case of dispute, now
it was a question of remenetrance. They would be
quite withus their right to appoint • committee to
request the Treasury to re-comdder their re-consider-
atlas. (Laughter.)
Lord &DOS suggested they should appoint • com-
mittee of Wes gentlemen to draw up reasons why the
pension should not be granted.
The Dircrtr.CaManan did not think they were in
the habit of appointing., issecial committee except for
distinctly recognised objects. He thought it
would be better to the whole question to the
finance committes.
ClSmately Lord BLDOS moved that a nenonstrsom
be made on behalf of the Court against the pension to
be granted to the late prison surgeon.
Major Gaovas seconded.
Ilghteem voted for the motion and 7/ voted against.
Mr. Good will therefore receive his mission as ordered
by the Treasury.
