Mr. I'‘ELLOWES, the lion. Colonel Wobritousg„
and Mr. M. ELWIN, tot•ic a part, it was moved by
Sir It. J. BUXTON. and seconded by Sir M. its
EOLItEs, that the further consideration of the sob,-

ject should be postponed until the Machuboas Sear
1110111 in 1821. which motion was calved by a rest
majority. It aerated to be the general sentiment
that some considerable alterations were necessary in
the County Gaol, but that it was advisable to defer
making such improvements to a pet cd when the
expense could be better mustained; and it was also
the general opinion, that when that expec.e should
be incurred, a considerable liortiou of it !<hoto.l be
defrayed by the owners of land, as had .heady
been done in the counties of Ewes, Ken', sod
Durham.
