disposed to vote for ths proposition had he not heard
the able eaten:mot made by the magistrate who moved
the amendmeot. After hearing that it did appear to
him they were not in • written to give the lemma
suggested, Wean* it had been shown that the salaries
of other Governors of gaols in different counties were
about on the lame level as in Dorset, though in other
place. much larger duties were performed. The quoation
would arias no doubt whether those gsralornen were not
underpaid, and ought not to be paid more, but that was
I a question the Court could not at this time decide, sad
thoi.4o•o be th, 'eclat thy should take the more
coeciliatory and ',leaden course of saying they could
rot decide the matter now, by moviug "the previous
queeti-o," widish would 1.1,0 the sulTot for discutaloe

~,,, nt of the pubis—the Governor of our gaol.—
The lite. 1 . Bingham said ho shoal.' bo sorry to
say a won 1 that might be at all dbagrelable after the
conciliatory remarks of the Earl of idatteebury. But
be felt that something ought to be said in behalf of the
visiting justices. Use matter was referred to them
previous to the last StlYoool., sad having given
their earnest cotrahleratioo to the matter, they came
—not to so unaalmous, but an almost unanimous
determioation to make the proposition, which be
still felt to be a very moderate one, that the
Gorrrror's *friary should be increased by £3O per
annum. Perhaps the Court wide% have forgotten,
and wine might not have been present, when the report
of the epeeist committee appointed for that purpose
wee present. He had en extract which he would ven-
ture to real. "With reemet to the Governor the
committee ascertained thst hie cmolum.nts arc not

rieons." Mr. G•oddr a bad brought forward two or

*lib a capitation grant cf 10L a head for every

ftoin the Sotuerset county 'heel And be believed
that th. Governors in very few of the ueighbourlng
gaol. had b. en In the service so long as Mr. !Almanac
He (Mr. Leaman...) had received £3OO • year for 20
year., and during that time the work had greatly W-
ormed as his lordship knew, Acts ct Parliament hav-
ing n.uch angmentrd the dutim of all our county
officiate, and the Governor of the gaol had a very mush
larger butden thrown on him lino* when his salary was
fiord. It was an undoubted fact that his income of
/MO a year did not nr.w go eo far as It would 20 jeers
ago. Everybody moat admit that; and it was prin-
cipally in that plea he believed the arpllcatlea
was made. In semi rto what was put forward by Mr.
Gooddeo, and which would doubtles. be urged by others
If the matter were further dimmed, that they were all
sn ff.& g alike by the Mimeses of prices, he would venture
to ray that many of the ratepayers of this county had
benefitted by the ineresse of price., and that It
was only those who lad fixed salaries wheal income was
thereby [maned. The breeders of cattle were receiving
much larger sums for their settle than when meat wee
7d. or 81. a pound ; and It was only poor people in the
condition of salaried officers who really get no booth
but loss by the Increase of prices. He thought this •
point well worthy their considerstion, and that they
were really and practically not giving the Governor &SO
a year more, but only putting him in as good • peeition
as be was before the rise In priors. lie would mach
sooner hav• been on the popular side with Mr. Goodden
and Mr. Gelman, but while h. disliked paying rate...
much., any magistrate present,and perhaps had ea HUI*
to pay oat of, he felt while economy was • very good
thing, justices and reason ought not lob. banished from
their oottnoils. On time grounda be seconded the
proposition of Capt. loster.—The noble Chairman
thought after what the Earl of Sheftesbory had said the
Court would agree to 'the previous question " as the
wane least disagreesb'e to the Governor sad the
Visiting Justices, Mr. Foster included. Bot there was
one point to which Mr. Bingham had alluded of which
roma notice should be taken. In speakiag of the salary
.11k, Governor and his increased work, Mr. Bingham
seemed to have forgotten that • Deputy-Governor bad
been appointed sine. Mr. kedrowe's death to share the
labour; and that must not be left out of sight. On
another point Li 00 some of the ratepayers peofitiog by
Inc:reseed pricies, they had not in any way profited by
the biomes in the prise of coals, and that was an Item
which did not afoot Mr. Lawrence as he was provided
with coals at the oost of the minty. These might be
small matters on such an occasion, but it wag well they
should not be overlooked. The great point as it waned
to him was this—that they were now speaking se U they
were disguising the past merits of Kr. Lawrence, and
his greet services; but he would remind them the
present question vs. whether £3OO a year was a
proper salary for the Governor. The time would some
—he hoped it would be a very distant day—
when Mr. Lawmen's 'errata would bare to be
coosidend ; and it would be in this form—Usder the
Act of Parliament he was entitled to 110 annuity when
he ceased to be able to be governor ; and then his long,
excellent, and valuable services would, he believed,
@wore ha receiving the fullest coesYeretion and the
largest sum the Court could give ; or, supposing he had
butt diseatisfied and had resigned In • huff the Court
wculd than probably only give him one year's gratuity
which under the same otause they wore empowered to
do. Sub, thought th y should take core not to mix op
the two topics, Be hoped by should not Imo to see the
day when it becamo the duty of the Court to consider
Mn. Lawranoe's past lentos., but he felt sure
they would be than coo.idered In a moit
hiseral and proper manner. If the court thought £:00
a year a suffioent salary, be suggoetcd their taking the
hint of the Earl of Shaftesbury which would be voting
00 opinion on the matter. hut leaving it.. it was, would
be the least pcsadaln rffenidre way of acing it —The
motion that "the question be now put" was submitted
in Parliamentary style ,• but some of the wort did tot
exactly no ierstand, aged the riobio Chairman interpreted
it "Thee, in favour of Copt. Foster's motion." For It
13 hands were held op; and against 26, so "the
previous qiestion " was carried, and the Governor's
salary Is wialtered—On this the other part of the
motion was withdrawn.

poesibly m.y be of • more protracted end laborious

The remark, however. I am happy to ..y, will not
apply to that department of the badness with
which you have to deal. The Wender of the
reducer' is • abort one : there are only seventeen
now for trial as against 22 last peed the oorresponding
sessioos, sad the nature of the crimes with which they
are °barged is of a comparatively light and trivial
description. This setts:eatery stale of thing, is, as
you will perceive, a oontinuatlom of the some adieu-
tory oondition of the county with regard to id criminal
state whioh I have remarked on for two or three
seedons past ; and it is oonfirmed by the report of the
governor of the gaol with regard to the number of
those who have been committed to prison durlog the
last quarter. The number of oommittels basi bees 139,
while In the oorresponding quarter of lad year the
number woe no lee. than 181, so that this quarter there is
the material reduction of 42. The report of the Chief
Constable made to the mend yesterday agrees with that
date of things, because It showed that the number rip-
prehmoded lad quarter was 37 fewer than in the ewes-
pending quarter led year, You will observe the
Ivrea did not agree one with the other, because as
you ao doubt know many of thou apprehended by the
police are dealt with immediately by the justices in

and I don't know that there is any reason why

kingdom. You have ne doubt been obliged to
meet that with some morillos on your own pert, and U
that is accompanied, sal believe it has been, with good
results to the country at large, I am sure you will feel.
In making that marina% you have some recompense in
the inivutage gaited by the community generally. It
has teen the practice of those who have prodded in
this court now for many years at this period to call the
attention of the grand Jury to any Ads of Reddened

position and the pultion of thou amongst whom we
live. I am glad I shell net have to trammel long
on your time In this respect on the present
occasion. There is only ono that is important
, for you to turn your attention to in the course of the
remaining part of the year, but that is of very great
importance. Yeti will, I dare say, gums that I allude
to the statute peseed last session relating to the tem.

past sesoicn. Its pritioipal provisions ere as follows—
het no child shall be employed under the age oft piers

lurful to employ any child in agriculture between the
ages of 8 and 10 year,, unless that child has attended
at some proper echoed, and has obtained a certified* in
the form provided in the Act, 250 attudanoes in the
