Tin Middlesex Magistrates, who constitute an
amembly which, in respect of the revenue it admi-
nisters and the interests it controls, exceeds in
importance the Parliament of many • sovereign
European State, act upon singular notions of jus-
tice whenever religious or ecclesiastical questions
come before them. The spirit of Mr. Waammv
seems to have taken possession of them, and is
constantly placing them in opposition to the Go-
vernment and the liberal legislation of thU coun-
try. it is not long since they practically set
aside the Prison Ministers Bill becalms it
exceeded their standard of equity; end now
they have taken a further step, which
must convince the Legislature that no mea-
sure • founded on the principle of religious
liberty can safely be entrusted to them for execu-
tion. During the present session the Middlesex
Magistrates have promoted • Bill on industrial
schools. The Bill having been referred by the House
of Commons to • Committee of ten members, it
was found on inquiry that there were in the Mid-
dims' Industrial School 88 Roman Catholic chil-
dren, who were all compelled to receive instruction
in the catechism and to attend the worship of the
Established Church. A clergyman of the Church
of England, the Rev. STD'S! Tomsza,
who appeared before the Committee, made
some remarks on the impropriety of this
arrangement, and expressed the opinion
that it was highly desirable that those children
should have the opportunity of being instructed by
a Catholic clergyman. The Committee thought
so too, and inserted two clauses in the Bill, pro-
viding that the warrant of commitment of young
offenders should specify the religious denomina-
tion to which they belonged, and that when that
was • denomination other than the Church of
England the Committee of Visitors should allow
one of its ministers to visit them. The Bill was in
charge of a sub-committee of Middlesex Magis-
trates, and Captain Grossor, their chairman,
recommended acceptance of the two clauses
as concessions which could not in fairness
be refused. His advice, however, was not taken,
a majority of magistrates were against him, and
they came to a resolution to withdraw the Bill
altogether, rather then to let it pass in its more
liberal form. An attempt was made in Parliament The Marq • oilialiaihr-Y, —as Lord-Lieutenant
