Home Department when the new bill relative to turn-
pikes would he laid before the house ?

delayed the preparation of the measure, but that he hoped
as have the bill la the hands of boa. members in the
course of next week.
THE CHOLERA AT LIMERICK.

Mr. MONSELL wished to ask the right hen. baronet the
Hems Secretary a question, with reference to which he wu
afraid the lives of many persons were involved. He be-
lieved it was well known in and out of that huge that the
cholera had broken out with great virulence at Limerick.
He found by the return, that it the Limerick gaol there
were some hundreds of prisoners confined, and 138 enevids
under sentence of transportation. The board of superinten-
dence had lately enlarged the prison, but notwithstanding
all the exertions they bad used the present lamentable state
et things existed. Eight or tee prisoners wept in a
cell, end the day-room accommodation was very limited. If,
then, the cholera broke out in such a crowded plus, he
feared It would be productive of most dilemmas conga-
queues ; and therefore he wished to know whether the
government were prepared to take the mummy step for the
removal of the 138 convicts, who ought to have been sent
out of the country long ago, and whether they would pro-
vide additional accommodation for the remaining prisoners
Sir G. GREY said he had freely admitted the other
night, that the prisons in Ireland were crowded at present
to a most dangerous extent, and that a oormspondenos had
taken place between the government width, Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland on the subject. Every effort was being made
to afford accommodation, and within a week or two room
would be obtained at the government depot at Spike Island,
and ships would be provided as speedily as possible for the
reception of those who were under sentence of tram:marts-
doe. He was not aware that cholera had broken out it
any of the Irish gaols, bat it was neesewary to guard spinet
such a visitation; and one mode of doMg this was, to per-
mit the local justices to recommend the discharge of all
prisoners who had nearly completed their respective terms
of confinement, and whose conduct had been inch ea to
entitle them to a manifestation of lenity. (Hear.)
