At the amid meeting of Middlesex mrigistreitee,
held at the Courtthouse, Clerkenwell-green, yesterday, Mr.
Poweam. le the chair,
The report from the Finance and Gemmel Parpcees Com-
mittee stated that a loan of 20,0001. had been rased at 4 per
cent. on security of the county rate, 15,0001. of which w to
be applied to Colney Hatch asylum, and 6,0001. to the In-
dustrial School at Feltham.
There was a motion on the paper ta the name of Mr.
George Frederic Young, on the subject of disguise arbdag
between the arouse and the magistrates about the diedlow-
thoe of has in certain cacao; out when It wee celled, Mr.
Young wee not present. The Chairman said he regretted
this the more, as the attention of the court might have been
called to certain observations published by the Registrar-
Geneve], reflecting on the magistrates in their judicial
copecity, in dealisg with the coroners.
The CHAIIIMAK She tailed attention to what had taken
place br rtharesce to a claim put forth by Mr. Watley and •
' jury, to have • prisoner dueled with homicide, and in cos-
toddr.,rl:::ught before them. There had bests for many yeas
a te on this subject, bat in this insanee a new testers
bad introduced. An application had been mode to the
Home Secretary to order the prisoner or, trrei with this
murder to be produced before the coroner sod jug, slid Mr.
Walpole, in reply, said there was no objection to the mimeses
beteg taken before the coroner white tor the way to the police
court. The prisoner was delivered into the custody of the
police, according to the magistrates roomed, sad on the way
to the pollee court they took him in • round-about direction
`the ceresse's bequest, so the responsibility was with the
pollee, end not the prises officers.
Mr. N. Leonia said he presumed it wee not Weeded to irk
the Home Pecritary what act of parliament gave lien the
authority to make each an order, but if be should be caned
upon to specify it, the right honourable gentlithem, . he
thought, would Ise placed in • very rhftltult position Miniver.
The Home Secretory hid no power to make any seek order.
The CH•1111‘ N said that m consequence of what had sow
occurred, some magistrates might think that, se a natter of
come, all applications for a prisoner to be takes before the
wreath most be complied with. It was nothing of the kind,
end the magistrates performing their duty most well weigh
the matter before they acceded to any such request.
Yr. Rownsort said the prisoner wee given up to the patios
by the prison °Hoar, in the regular way, on the expiration of
the remand, end was then taken by the police to some
plan who an bequest was being held. The primmer this
sot eat there by the megotthtea, nor by their authority.
They bed to keep the primmer in legal custody, sad they
bed IMO sit
Mr. N. Laura add the Secretary of State lad no authority
to mate amok en order, and had the men not bees takes le

edesse, but by the polies and he should sot have allowed
him to leave the rim had the period of the Teethed not
expired. The same coons had bees taken in the case of one
ot the foreigners lately charged with murder.
Mr. N. Lanais said the ester had mods an order upon the
subject which intuit be carried out. The Seerseary of State
