BIRMINGHAM BOROUGH PRISON.

SIXTH DAY.

BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.

This inquiry was again resumed to-day.
John Cartwright, &former prisoner, was the first witness
—Was first committed to the gaol on the Nth of June,
1862, for burglary. Shortly afterward% was wateaced for
a prison offices to fourteen days at the cora mill; three
days bread and water, and to be deprived of his bed all the
time.

Capt. Williams remarked that the two first punishments
were entered in the book, the third was sot.

Examination continued—Three days after that was eon-
tensed to three days bread and water, and 14 days onlhard la-
bour crank. The offence was 'Waling:corn Nader pressure of
hunger. During the infliction of this last punishment
the prisoner attempted to hang himself. He said that he
really intended to do the deed, the weather being so cold,
and be so " clammed," that he preferred death to living.
Four or five months after he had attempted this, Freer, the
deputy governor, came to him and suggested to him that he
bad once said that he bad won incited to the 'Remit by a
guilty conscience, he replied that that was not the fact.
Saw the chaplain after he had made the attempt, ■nd told
him that he bad been induced by hunger and starvation.
Also told the same thing to the governor in his room. The
offence for which the prisoner was punished was communi-
cating through the ventilator.
The Rev. Mr. Sherwin, the chaplain, re-called, said that
Cartwright had behaved in a most exemplary manlier in
the gaol since his attempt to commit suicide, and that when
apparently under decidedly religious impressions, he said
he had been induced to commit suicide by the pangs of
hunger.
Lieutenant Asatia sienied that the prisoner had ever said
to him that he had made the attempt to bang himself in
consequence of hunger.

Mr. Blount, the surgeon, saw the youth the day after he
had made the attempt to commit suicide ; he seemed likely
to be strongly excited or depressed by religious subjects.
Cartwright then admitted to him that what he had done
was in consequence of his bad more, of life, and witness
thought and suggested to the governor that it was compunc-
tion of conscience. Could not account for omission of these
words from the report he made to the governor shortly after
the occurrence.

Dr. Bely—Then believing the boy to be in this excited
stets, did you think it right to leave him alone in his
sell ?

Witnew—l didn't think he would do it again, and I did
not like to interfere.

.....
Mr. Blount was examined at some length relative to the
peculiarity of his minis'. wherein he assigned reasons for
the attempts at suicide ; his entries were " attempt at
imposition ;" " Strange, but not insane ;" " Compunction of
isonscience."

Mr. Welaby said that these were very remarkable masons
for a medical man to assign tor attempts at suicide alter
prisonen had bees repeatedly punished and been deprived
of food.
_____

Cant. William. asked Mr. Blount whether it had
occurred to him that there was a great increase of attempts
at suicide since Capt. Maconochle's time ?
Witness—Not when I consider the number that were
feigned.
Mr. Welsby—What do you mean by that? You hays
only entered tkree as " feigned" out of (carton s?
The witness did not reply.
Capt. Williams—Have the punishments been more
severe sines Lieut. Autin was governor ?
Witness—Not considering that there has been less
favouritism since Lieut. Austin was governor.
floggin ? Capt. Williams—Were you present at all the eases of
Witng
ess—At all but one.
Mr. Webby—You have said something about the punish-
ments beiag as severe under Captain Maconochie as they
have been under Lieut. Austin. Now, which in yoar
judgment was the most serious punishment—the turning
a prisoner's face to the wall, or the straitjacket and collar
and strapping to the wall ?
Witness—That would depend on circumstances.
Mr. Webb —Which should you prefer?
Witness—l should prefer the waistcoat.
Mr. Webby—Do you recollect salt being thrust into
the mouth of a prisoner at the time he had the jacket on ?
Witnees—l believe not.

Mr. Sherwin, the chaplain, here expressed a wish to
state, in reply to the surgeon's evidence as to Cutwright's
being under religious excitement, that his visits were so
rapid he could scarcely report relative to the state et the
outer-man, much see u to the condition of the lanweehm.
Capt. Williams—Mr. Sherwin,

thing amosigst the officers of the prima , he bad himself,
be said, been taunted by Lieut. Austin with being a friend
of Capt. Maemochle's, and bad been reminded by him that

earth slam see psthasi map* the boys, with the con-
sent of the megiolothea. As respects the sale and nude
Malts, it was the minty system of prima discipline, with
Famishment of bread end water; I also introduced as a
Foaithaisat standing with the fees to the wall during
working bean. In fay me instance did I cause a prisoner
to be Jigged without In authority of the visiting justices;
this was a boy named Bodied ; he was a very contuma-
cious boy, sad took • ingglag with ememive obstinacy;
bat die third day he gave way ; I gave him Eve
or sin cuts as the second day. I applied ma-
mos strait jackets in say plea with the women.
I never gave orders that pruoaers Mimi be strapped to
the wall, except in one ease, where 'wow was very vio-
lent , she was strapped to the railing. I never gave
orders that Howard and Scott should be strapped to the
wall, and the collars were not introduced till after I had
left the gaol. The niagisiatee satisfied my synth of

discipline, bat I asi aware that it is not strictly in aeeord-
awe° with the luw. I bad a e-neral order to flog prisoners
from the vieitiog justices. I did not then know that that
was contrary to law. I thought they bad a power to give
me such an authority. I now admit that I did not pay so
much attention to regulations of Secretaries of State
as perhaps I ought. My wife and daughter had ex
emitted a great moral influence over the female prisoners,
but in Augu,t, 1830. they were excluded. This bad a vary
injurious effect. The female prisoners became more re-
fraelory. This alteration was in consequence of sem: pri-
vate representation to the magistrates.
Capt. Williams—l fad an entry of 10,000 turns at the
crank indicted as a punishment In May, 1851. Is that so?
Witness—lf there is an entry in the book to that
effect, it is so. I did once order a prisoner bread and
water for six days, with an interval of a day. In that I now
think I was wrong.
Capt. Williams—Have you ever ordered a prisoner to the
refractory cell till farther order@ ?
Witness—Yes • but I visited the cell every day. I did
amongst my punishments deprive ;miscasts of the privilege
of going to chapel. Three days standing with the face to the
wall in Ate centre hall was the greatest punishment I in.
dieted of that character ; I never saw a prisoner faint in
consequence.
Capt. Williams—Did you ever deprive a prisoner of food
fee thirty hours ?
Witness—l think not.
Capt. Williams—Your system would lead to that, would
it not?

Witness—Perhaps it would. In my time the prisoner.
did work at the crank in the dark, but the cells were con
steady visited by me. I never remember to have inflicted
a punishment of more than three or tour turns of the crank
a day. That would be sufficient. I think the crank is defec-
tive in the principle ef its construction. I accumulated
crank labour punishment as an addition to bread and weber
diet. I have confined prisoners " for trier in the refractory
cell in cease whore they Were very violent.
Capt. William►—That.is not legal.
Examination continued—l never ordered water to be
thrown on the primmer'; I should think such a proceed-
ing highly improper. I lays found prisoners in a State
of greet exhaustion at the crank labour, and have with
drawn them in consequence._ A abort time before I left the

gaol the magistrates nu:reseed the number of the cracks it
the gaol from two to twenty-two; this was against my
will and was the rata of Mr. Austin's influence.
Mr. Austin urged me to nexus the punishments at the
gaol; I refused, and requested the magistrates to investi-
gate certain matters which required it, aid said that if
they did net, an inquiry would take place in two years.
At this stage of the inquiry a long correspondence was
read from the records of the visiting justices with the
minutes of that body thereupon—the whole referred to
dioxides which arose between Capt. Maconochie and Lieut.
Aladin, and to the dismissal of the former in consequence,
'in October, 1851.
Tbe examination of Captain Maconchie was then re.
Hosed. He said—My system of discipline as regards the
boys was abandoned by order of the visiting justices in
January, 1851. The visiting justices entirely altered the
system of discipline at the gaol at that time. They resolved
on adopting the strict separate system after that time,
having consulted me on the subject. The result was
that the boys became more unmanageable, and more pa-
nistiments were necessary. I was appointed to the gover.
nonhip of this gaol without solicitation, and 1 hoped
to be allowed to some extent to carry out my own
system. Unfortunately I was instrumental in Lieut.
enact Austin's appointment ; for, as it turned out,
he thwarted me in everything, and thought be was there
te criticise my conduct. Mr. Austin had • strong appetite
for punishment, and I soon found there was an iallueneo
working against me, and a determination to get rid of me.
As regards the case of prisoners subject to emliptie fits, or
to great depression of spirits, the surgeon was so completely
opposed to my system that be would sever have permitted
association, however much I might have thought it neces-
sary. I wish to state, that I
sonen of their breakfast because they had not completed
their labour; and I wish to mention a peculiar circum-
stance—that as soon es Mr. Luckoock was appointed chair-
man of the visiting justices, he, without saying a word to
me, took Lieut. Austin away with him to Leicester and
other gaols : they brought back several ideas of punish-
ment to our prison.
At five o'clock the inquiry was again adjnirned.
The visiting justices are to he examined to-morrow. The
court was very much crowded to-day, end a great number
of this magistrates were present.

DESECRATION OF ST. DENIS IN 1793.
The Constituent Assembly called upon the munici-
pals of La Frondele—fre so Bt. Denis had then been chris-
tened, from pedals Imbed of a mint—to enter the basi-
lica, and open is seetiresiou the tombs of all those tyrants

tion the cram win mended with. There was no dit-
toing. • Weep of soldiers aegempanied by diggers with

promises roe blown *over sod powder, entered the
abbey ; and—whist the Mid dim lit up the aisles and
oolossets, which the swab Mmisined • amidst the crash of
piling muskets and the Mica mtiotaiddoed Tableau--
the work began. In iimg he the relics of the
Boarbons the workmen were net sat diet enecessful ; and
'by a strange fatality it was met a king they Ant
dug up ; but, on raising the earth from the Ant
tomb, they found the frame and features of the great
Turman'. They treated him with great respect ; that is to
wthey left hi. in his coffin, plated him us the sacristy,
ere be was shown for mouths, at a penny a head ; and,
afterwards, in the Gersten of Plants, where he was shown
for nothing. They then interred him beneath a splendid
monument erected on the spot, where h. was disinterred.
The scrutiny proceeded, and at last they found a Bourbon.
He was perfect. The lineaments were those of Hoary of
Navarro, the father of that long line of Louise" of whom
the last had recently met with so melancholy a death. His
beard, moustache., and hair were perfect ; and, as the Dol.
diet standing round looked on in awe at the strange spa-
tula, one of them drew his sword, and casting himself
down before the body of the victor of the League, lopped
off one of his moustaches, and placed it upon his own
lie, giving vent, at the same time, to a vehement burst
of
national **thorium. There was no enthusiasm when
the pick and shovel had laid bare the cold and vacil-
lating features of the thirteenth Louis; which
were in perfect preservation also; but it was not without
raped and admiration that Louis the Fourteenth, deerepid
though he seemed, and deprived of wig and every other
ornament which adorned him when called "The Great,"
was exposed to view. Near him were discovered Maria
Theresa sad the Dauphin ; on who. frame were visible the
traces of Me Molest and untimely death. For days and
