Home nt whether his attention had bees celled to
a pro exhibition of reformatory children, to be held at
the Agricultural Halt lallagna, from the 19th to the 'lsth
of May next ; and whether it met with his emotion and
approbation. He might be allowed to add that the children
were all markt*, offenders.
Sir G. GREY replied that his attention had not bees
drawn to this subject until it was meatioeed last night by

curred in what he understood to be the feeling
of the honourable gentleman, that it was most inexpedient
that children convicted of °Hems and seat to a reforma-
tory should be made a public exhibition of in this way.
He therefore sent to Mr. Terser, inspector of reforms-
tries, asking whether he was aware that the exhibition
was to be held, and the reply of that gestlemsa was that
no child from certified reformatory would he allowed to
attend. The children therefore were really unconnected
with the government in any way.
Mr. T. MILLER observed that 300 children were to at-
tend from the Middlesex Reformatory.
Sir G. GREY—No, they are from an industrial sohooL
There is no certified Middlesex Reformatory at present.
