WE CUSTODY OF MR.FJUNTLEROT.

daturday limning, Dlr. Vickery, the oversew of the House of
Correction, :n Coldhatli.fields, came into Marilorougaseeet
Office Ina state of great agitation, and reiterated to gee Mr. Locate,
the Magistrate, who eemmittrd Mr. 1 euntleroy. It being ere
leyer'e day of attenefince, Mr. Cement was not In the oi:ice ; (et
as soon as he was apprize! of el r. Vickery visit, be cm: :r t, :ea
an intereiew in his drawing-room.
Mr. Vickery stated to Dlr. Conant, that he was greatly st :Treed,
upon taking tip the Times newspam r yesterday ittemitig, k: p:r.t..
lag • toast false aid invidious paratesph therein iieered, relative
N the mode of treatment of his prisotter, Mr. Frintlemy.
Mr. Vickery ben handed the Alagiettate the Paper is cuestiee,
and pointed out the paragraph complained ot, of winch the leetee
ing n 1 copy:—
" We understand that some representstions bare been made to
the Magistrate who committed Mr. Fauntleroy, from a ~,,,,,,,
deeply interested its seeing the ends of public justice duly fliffilit•l
by his trial, on the culpable rtotiesnees with wheli he la guarded.
His present plece of timid:um:eat, unless same ;leer encer lira re.
cently been issued tin the suli*t, is the upper part of the house of
the Governor of Coldbeih.helds prtson, wlere his aoommr, :
dala ate as complete and full of comfort as the d re:ling-Leese of
any private gentleman. It would be invidious to .we't on tee de-
lon tr.ae.e. in this respect between Mr. Fes case ec.d t! ct ...fc:a
prisoner charged with 0101C3 of sech enermity : the tate eeteey
of the person being the chief point as regerds public ;rat::..,, Oi
which importance should be attached. Ale Feu:lee:or, we L.....
dowsed, was visited a few days ago by a gentleman al, welted
to confer with him on some particuLers connected wee toe Shills:a
of the banking-house of which ha was a creditor; and see, con.
trary to what has been stated, found .no difficulty in gaetieg se.
nuttance to the prisoner. lie a-as much surpris,d that, on etng
introduced to the prisoner, so little caution was used, that he was
suffered, without requesting it, to remain alone with him for
several minutes. The disclosure of these facts, in the manta first
stated, has led to an investigation Into the affair, and crime: pre.
cautions, there is no doubt, are now aemeted. :lie. Esuneroy it
said to have large sums of money in his pease's:nt."
Mr. Vickery reiterated, that not one part of the paragraph was
true. Mr. Pauntleroy never resided in his (Mr. Vickery's) house,
that he had been ever since he was find brought into the prises
confined in the state rooms, which are at the extreme end of the
prison, and at a great &twice frees his (the Ociveinnes; bitrits-
nor. That Mr. F. was pleeed there by order of a Committee of
Magistrates, atel it is the usual place allotted fur ge:ttleo.en in the
situation of 'Mr. Faunt:emy, and where three other gentlemen tee
now confined, so eitat ao distinction whatever is made between him
and any othet Meaner, charged with crimes of such enormity.
'The ruedited gentlemen 8f the ptisou bed reported Mr. F. as unwell,
and that the nature of his complaint required air. The repon
was leid before the Committee, and the gentlezeee gave orders
that he should ler allowed to welk in the prison garden at a
cataio time of the dr. This privilege had been also granted to
other prisoners when .6.7 hare, been so reported. l'he prisneer
hi allowed whatever animal food he Flames, and generally his dirt.
ner consists of either a mutton chop. or a beef-steak, after welch
I he is allowed a pint of wine, which other prisoners arealso altewel.
r As to Mr. Faureleroy hating large sums of money :beret him, that,
too, is false, be having had only kiX pounds since he bad been in
hislVieleery's) custody. He considered that the writer of the pa.
raph had stated those falsehoods aet the intent that tile, should
rejugradice the Magistrates against him, for granting to DILI'. those
comforts Mat were allowed to no other prisoner, as it would ep.
pear by the statement.
Mr. Coverer told Er. Vickery that the Bank Direeten had
communicated with him on the mode of treatment in the case of
11r. Fauntleroy, they having heard that he was allowed to midi
in his (Vickery s) house, end he suspected from what quern It
emanated, and had accused the gentleman with having repntee
such a statement, he(i)r. Coterie) expensing his cone:cam of its
being false. It had been in souls degree denied.
Mr. Vickery said he knew who the gentleman was ' • his name
was —; but he would tell that gentleman to his face that it was
false, were be present.
Mr. Cowawr advised Mr. Vickery to go to the Editor of the
Times, and to desire an unqualified contradiction of the paragraph,
and dr. Vickery left the ctbce for that purpose.
