lgr. Honors seconded the resolatios, and strongly ob
jolted to anything like a sonless szreaditure of the City
remises, whether attain hem acensauntious or from ear-
rest taus. It was i.e rted that se plea of discipline had
been determined on fur the proposed prison, but yet the
walls were to be made of sufficient extent to allow of the
solitary s 3 ste as, and as all the promoters of the new prison
were ads 'cues of that system, he thought there were reason-
able grounds for supposing that its estatdiehnsirot was con-
templated. Wish ten ranee to the querion of capon.., the

proposed Roush. rof insist( s (4005, the building would cost
as musk as a 2001. bowie for each prisoner, and the annual
4914 MN a 1 mithiteceihce would be 231 6e. 111014 for each
pressor theta he would cost in the Middlesex House of C.v.

annual ezianso for each prisoner was 564., so that
the solitary syst ea was proved to be the most
expensive es well as the moat health destroying
that could be adopted. He objected also to costly
prisons, which by thair ecraforts tempted to the commission
of crime, and were amok more attractive to the poor
man than the virkkome. He had beard of a ease in Wilt-
shire, in which roue peer men, dissatisfied with the
tesatnent they ree. toed in the workhouse, broke this win
does, and thus got themeeleres traasterred to the piece, in
eider that they might have, as they termed it, " s merry
Christmas." (A laugh.) He had great pleasure in second-
Muting resolailos.
Dlr. 0011401 differed in foto both from mover and se.

wen la favour of the proposed erection. The only alterna-
tire was a prison in the City, and he thought that sits was
thickly enough peopled already. Some alterations were
gelled for, seeing that several of the City prisons were in •
ascot filthy state. There were only 16 persons present besides
the report, rs, and yet that was to be called a meeting of the
ward.—After some tutelary conversation,
Mr A•coc• repl,ed, and suggested he knowing amend-
ment to the ret lotion That this meeting requ:sta Leif
representatives in the C tent of Common Council to withhold
their conceit to the building of any new prison until the
principle of elisriphne to Is, adopted iu it has been maturely
considered and decided on ;" whelk :vas agreed to, and the
meeting separated.
