Chit the visit was permitted. He sstated there wen only
nine Roman cathobca oa the local priest's looks as being in
Worcester County Gaol, and that he was set allowed to see
all of these, whereas in the neighbouring county pol. of
Staffordshire there were Pt; and be added that altogether
there were about 2,9ooRemea calhohca bathe primes of Rag.
land end Wales. As the Secretary of Stine bad initiated a
new mode of treating convicts, he thought a now mode of
treating Roman catholic criminal, might also be kingdom&
The Rev. Mr. Anaphlen (church of England) seceaded
Mr. Berkeley's resolution, deeming it was nothing but
fair that when prisoners professed the Roma ca-
tholic faith they should he visited by primate of
their own religion. Coder the pr acct ri:gulatioa the
prisoner must mks • special application in order to
have the attendance of • Roman catholic priest, but pri-
soners rarely desired the attestante of any minister of
religion at all, and thus the application ins of tea made.
He did not think the church of England would lose any of
its influence by making this concession. if cuncomie it oould
be called. Sir H. lambert said that the re... ul.,tioas of the
prison with regard to the attendance of Roman catholic,
pallets were always explained to primers who represented
themeless as being Roman catb. The Rev. G. R. Gray,
as a clergyman of the church of England, hoped that, if
Roman catholic priests were to be introduced as proposed.
the members of the Roman catholic religion would all be
assembled in one room in the gaol, sod that the priest moil
not have WON throughout the gaol to all who were Rama
catholic. and those who were not. After a short dienuedoa
• committee was appointed, a second Romancatholic mem-
ber being placed on it at the suggestion of Lord Lytteltes.
