THE FINANCE. COMMITTEE.
The-pioceedin;s of the Finance Committee comprised,
first, a recommendation that the discretion given by,
and contained in, the act of 7 William IV., and 1 Vie.,
cap. 19,, as to.the appointraient of an assistant, or deputy-
recorder,should: at. •the next
_sessions, be exercised by
the Recorder ; second, a recommendation to sell, subject
to the approval of the Lords of the Treasury, the rover-
slonaryinterest of a piece of land at the corner of Drury-
lane and the Old Ropery to the LiVerpool Corn Exchange
Compauy, for the sum of £2.5.

- •
Alderman S. HOLM; in moving the confirmation of
the first recommendation, said that the proceedings of
the Finance Committee did not contain anything of great

uence ; indeed, for some months past, the proceed-

ings had been barren of anything except the usual
routine matters. Ile then moved that the first recom-
mendation-be confirmed.

Mr. gIeAnsTONE said 09. t he wished to refer to the
ntiniber of sessions held by the Recorder, and, as far
as he could judge, it appeared to him that the number
was insufficient; because he was one of those who held
that the practice of committing prisoners to the sessions
was a bad one. First of all, it imposed. on the town a
serious expense for the support of those prisoners; and,
secondly, a man ought to be tried at the earliest oppor-

He was quite well aware, that the legal profes-
sion were at variance with the opinion he had, ventured
to state ; but, he thought, as they had a IteCordpr, it
would be better to have a more frequent session, and if a
man were charged with an offence, such a person, who-
ever he might be, should be tried at once, and committed
forthwith.

Mr. S. TloLmn said, in reply to Mr. Gladstone, that
they had two or three extra sessions, for which the he-
corder received extra pay. It was one of the charges
alleged against the lay magistrates, that they were not
in the.habit of sending prisoners for trial, but dealing
with them sanfmarily.--The recommendation *as then
