KIRKDALE QUARTER SESSIONS..

Yesterday, the inngistrates met at -Kirkdale for the
disposal of the ilnnty business, Lord Stanley, chairman,
presiding, The other ,magistrates presen were Messrs.
Hall, Green, Benn, 'Anderson, Harden, R. Theakstone,
T. E. 2.46 i, Myers,' Thomas Haigh, Itopd-e, S. Thomp-
son, • M'Corgliadale, John Kendal, W. andbach, T. D.
Anderson, and W.B. Milner.

The report of the Visitini Justices was read. it set
forth that the buildings were in a state of efficiency,
and in a good sanatory condition. The inmates were
healthy, and the prisoners all employed, there had been
a good demand for the description of work which they
executed. The discipline of the establ.ishmont was well
maintained. 'They called attention to the cases of Maria,
Fagan, aged 46, who was sentenced in 1854 to 6 years'
penal servitude, and Margaret Godwin, aged 47, who
sentenced in 1856 to 4 years' penal servitude,whom they
thought eligible, to a commutation of their sentence for
their good conduct during the whole period of their'
incarceration. It was:resolved that the Home Sccretaiy.
should be communicated with upon the subject.
The_ governor of the jail, Mr. Gibbs, submitted a'
report, froth which it appeared that for the year ending
29th September, there were, received into the jail 2,278
prisoners,—being 306 less than the previous year. On
that day (the 31st' October,)•there were 302 prisoners in
the jail, viz, 245 males, and 57 females. The number,
in the corresponding date last year was 405.
The-surgeon's report contained some remarks con-
cerning the accommodation for lunatics. During the
year, one man had died from exhaustion, caused by his'
refusing his food. They had no proper place to 'keep
lunatics, and on one occasion when they had written to
the Rome Office respecting a lunatic, it was ten daYs
before they received an answer.

The CiLiiniktAx suggested a resolution to this effect,
—" That the attention of the Home Secretary be called
to the delay Which arises in the removal of lunatics to
the asyltims!' The resolution was proposed, seconded,
and carried.. , -

The accounts of the coroners of tho county 'vitae
passed—viz.;, Mr. Driffield, who. held 173 ingniests,
£385.75. ld., and Mr. Galloway, who hcld four inquests,
£6 15s. Bd. • total, £392 2s. 9d.
The Bridgennaster's report announced th&t all the
bridges in,the hundred of West Derby wort, in a state
1)f efficiency.

The.reriOri of the Chief Constable of the .county was
adopted without any discussion. The following is an
abstract, of this interesting dorctimdnt
