A :postal meeting of the Visiting Justices was held
on the 15th of May to oonskier the matter referred to
them at the last seesionv, via , the application made
generslly by the prison officers for on lacrosse of salary
In oonseqmoce of the pressure of the Vats On that
omission there were present Captain foster (In the chair),
Mr. H. C. Gooddlin, Ms. A. B. Paine, Mr. E. Peons,
Mr. H. B. Middleton, Rev. IL Austen, and Rev. C.
W. Bingham, who having elven their anxious attention
to the subject adjourned to the quarterly niestiog for
the purpose of making their final report upon it. With

that his emoluments are not equal to those received la

advancing years, and having serve d the eounty most
faithfully and eueoesefully for • q•oart.r of a sensory,

Mr. 131/lililll moved the adoption of the report exempt
that part relating to the superior offioers, as to whom
he gave notice for theme next sessions, Touching the
proposed augmentation of the pay of the subordinate
°Mows, he conceded that all of us mast feel the
pressure of the times but as the pay of labourers every-
where had been thereased, and they had rased the
wagee of the polies, they could not withhold the
present rise without eremitic dissatisfaction. Some
of the salaries of the lows werders were fixed at
an exesedingly bow figure ; they were fixed 30 years
ago, and the lowest warder has only lia • week, and
has to had his own devilling, which would take airily
2s. 61 • week front liiiiwagee. He thooght such • state of
things ought not to exist, for the office) of warder is
one which requires a great dial of tact, forbearance.
and discretion ; in fact a warder Is • kind of skilled
labonier. He hoped therefore tLat there would be no
•rt..rizf objection to the salaries the warden being
by the 24. 61 per week, now deducted on
aosocuat of rent. He did not suppose any of their
warders would resign if their wages were not
raised ; but be thought there would be something um.
generous, if the Court did not µlvo that oonsideretioa to
theca, which It Lad given to the police form. He
meld make this swiss—that efter all, this would
be a very small themes in the expense, about £l6O a
a year. Whoa they somidered that • }J, rate would
peados* £lOOO, it would be seen that they were only
inking for the tenth part of a farthing rate. In aakieg
10/ so eery ••••11 • rise is this, under the peculiar
gramme of the times, they asked for nothing unreasou-
able—(bwar.)
Mt. Hs C. worm= (Chairman of the Wey-
month Board of Guardians), considered this was not •
Mmefor raising salaries. As to the warders he offered no
objection, for It seemed they were not now as well paid
as agricultural labeuren. Bat he thought this a wrong
time for Fining Wanes. They should reoollest
the prewar@ of the time, was at any rate as erealion the
poor small ratepayers as the highly-paid officials' of the
rionnty.

(oltairotan of the Wareham Board of
Guardians) opposed the motioa. They were there as
guardians*/ those nimble to speak for tbesseel ma, bemuse
It they were their representatives it was only partially, for
tho vest zsajwity of ratepayers were setiainly not roper
seated In that eourt ; therefore he thought they were
boned espeeially to see nothing was dose to their
detriment, or of which they as. in any way have just
same to eonaplain. He thought the ems for the warders
wee mach droner than that toads out for the police
form, sad that the Maims M the warden at the lonatis
asylums soak) not be bashed; this proposal oould not
stand alma, and he objected to It. Bak those who
voted foe inereasing the polies pay maid not help doing
the mote new, and as any future comaloc.
Mr. C. HAMIIO, M.P.. dissented from the notion
that beaus he voted for the Ingram of the pay of
LeLselioe, he mast be in favour of &demising the
at all other empty °Modals.
The Bev. C. J. OLTI said he was headily glad that
the rale of wages of labourers had generally Incressed.
Li to the proems by which it had been attained, that
was soother itiestioc. Butt he oemidered it a very
eclakkable thing that it was the fact--(hear, hoax). In
their whites he believed the seat of mush evil WM
low ways. He heartily suppwied the motion.

Mr. FLO TII supported the moth.. flop.; of the

the agricultural labouren, yet they mast be men to be
traded, and Inadeqoat• pay restricted choice. lie did
not think the proposed rise anreesoneb's, and ruggested
