Ist. Because it is, is my opinion, the duty of Parliament
to consider the practicability sod the means of alleviating
. the distress which at present exists in conserturnee of the
want ef employment fur the Poor, particularly as that dim-
tress has is many parse of the country rendered dangerous
the saaelleinatious of the disaffected, sod has already pro.
doted ouch discontent, which, mans relief should he af-
forded, must be expeeted lit continue and even to Jerre:tee.
ti. Rennin I cannot contemplate without deep regret
aid serious apprehension the rootionance of slum esiami-
ties which are at present caused by the want of employment
fur the Pour, which teed to disturb the public peace as well
sato destroy the public prosperty.sad whirl, from eon
sideration of humanity and policy, are much to be deplored.
3d. Because it appears to me that a very considerable
immix" of the Poor might be Provided with employment.
First, by encouraging the public fisheries, which might
prove so abundant source of ectupatiou and subsisteure;
Secondly, by promoting the cultivation of waste land of
which mmy millions of acres still exist in this island;
and Thirdly, by adopting proper regulations rrewctiug the
isle of the esschinery, which, by abridging labour, has
deprived many industrious persons of employment both in
agriculture cud maunfacturet.
4th. Because the adoption of such measures would, in my
opinion, dimiuish very cursiderably the amount of the Poor
Rates, and thereby lead to relieve the severe distress which
is now suffered by the &vitiators' interests of the rimutry,
sod to revive in the labouriag classes 'hope habits mid (rel-
ieve of independence which are inseparably cuouccted with
their welfare
sth. Beaus, the relief which might be afforded to the
Pone by such measures would ant he precarious, traosient,
or of au eleemosynary nature, and would not be attended
with sech an *uproar as would be anevoue to the State.

bib. 80-canoe the inquiry which was recommended genus
particalarly expedient under the presrat rircunistancem of the
country which is alleged with ■ vievous burden of debts and
taxes, and which suffers also from a stsvistion of trade
eroding is greet meanie* from causes which may prove to he
mot of a temporary nature, and which it may out be in the
power of this eueintry to control.
7th. Because if the measures which were suggested foe
the employment of the Poor were cuusiirred to be impeae-
tieabk or inexpedient, the appointment of the Committee
which was proposed would, in my judgement, hove been pro•
per, in order to mushier of other menus by which dull most
important and must desirable object might he accomplished.
fhb. Because the appointment of that Committee would
have been highly gratifying to the people, and would also
'have afforded au additional proof that this House is anxious
to investigate tie causes of any public distress, and, as far as
is practicable, to administer relief.
9th. Because that Committee would by its inquiries have
furnished more ample aid satisfactory informsiioil than this
House has let obtained on a subject must interesting in it-
self, and pendia, ly important at the preseut moment, the
Mate mid cumilition of the labouring classes.
11)4. Because it has not been shewu by any argument
which has been adduced that it would is any respect be inex.

OLD.BAILE Y-SATURDAT, MAT 20.

R. Ireland. s respect.itite-looking man• who had
pleaded Not Guilty io the charge of haring uttered
forged notes, was put to the twos and Pre"°led a
petition. in which he stated that by the advice of
one of ►he beet and kindest of fathere, and other
reapectabla friends. he was desirous of withdrawing
his plea of Not Guilty, and pleading Guilty to the
me
minor offence.- lie did thin from winetrecauritipii

for he now saw his guilt, nor was it loug after he
had left his patentee roof before he became a prey
to .those who are constantly prowling about for their
victims. and by whom he. had been plunged iuto
the depth of misery ;said wretchedness.
Mr. Justice BAYLIIW oohed him if be was aware
that this pleading to die minor offence, as he called
it iii his paper, would subject him to fourteen
years' iranspurtatiois ?
The Prisoner answered that he was.
Mr. Justice Bavt.au—A neither question I would
ask is whether the language contained in this paper
is your own?
The Prisoner agaio answered in the affirmative. •
Mr. Justice BAT LET—Then it very properly
expresses the feelings of contrition which you ought
to pomitoo, usd I fruit you will profit by them.
The Bank offered no evidence against bun, and
his plea of Guilty to tbe minor offense was come-
quently suffered to be recorded.
Mr. Baron Callao:1W thee addressed the Jury.—
Flu raid, that before they proceeded with the 'im-
portant business of the day, hr felt himself bound
t", holier a misrepresentation of something which had
}fallen from him yesterday, and which was contained
Pik `a paragraph of The Times newspaper of this
morning,"which had just been put into his hand.
He complained of no one; the statement had per.
'lmps inadvertently found its way into the paper, but
it was desirable that every thing they said, which
• oats of course said publicly. mid cousequently with.
:out any wish fur toocesdinent, should be given se-
catrately, and that he should not be mode to say
things which he would not say, .and which, in fact,
he never could say. Those saki were in Court yes-
terday would recollect that W. Wilkinson, a black
man, was tried and convicted of • highway rubbery ;
and unit, when leaviug the bar, he told the Jury
duo lie was murdered. Yesterday he (Mr. 8.-
rosi Game) had to speak in behalf of others; he
had now to say something for himself. His Learned
Brother (Bayley) tried the unfortunate man; but
hearing this insult to the justice of the couutry, he
(Mr. Baron Garrow) felt it his del to say that he
entirely coincided with the propriety of that ver-
dict. Now the paper in question bad made him
aav that which he never had, and never could have
raid ; namely, 4, that it was highly desirable that
the public should be rid of 60 detestable a
wretch." Agaiu, he said, that he cumpliined of
no our; but the Gentlemen who give their worth
arid conduct tuthe public, ought to be careful of
stating them correctly, and not put into their
mouths so improper and so unjudge-like as expres-
sion. It was impossible that such langusge could
ever have been used in a British Court of Justice,
or from • British Bench. Their duty was to du all
in their power for the unfortunate persona who were
brought before them, not to attempt to prejudge
iht-rr ease—much less, after • verdict had bees paw
td against them, to prejudge their fate.
The Foreman of this day's Jury said he was in
Court yesterday, and he was quite certain that no
such words ever escaped the Learned Judge.
Mr. Berm G•itaow expressed himself glad that
he was in Court, and had heard what he really did
say.
George Seymour was suffered to plead Guilty to
the 'Minn offence of having forged mates iu hie pos-
session, knowing them to be so; mid to withdraw
his plea of Aot Guilty to the capital offence of utter-
ing them.
Peter Miller was indicted fur forging and utter-
ing a counterfeit 10/. note.
The note in question, and a f reed 5!. Dote, were
uttered in payment of ■ colt which he purchased of a
person is Shorediich, at which time he gave a false
name and Eddies:. %Viten taken into Custody, which
wars some time after, betas.' several forged notes ou
hi: person. f;rilly—Devith.
The Grand Jury of the CUT of London having.
finished their business at the Session., entered the
Court, and after presenting their lot bills, gave in
a presentment, claiming a right to visit his Majesty's
gaol of Newgate as a positive right. and not
courtesy, his declared by the Common Serjeant•
Mr. Justice BATLIT, after conferring with Mr.
Baron GaRIOW. said it had undoubtedly beet,
usual for Grand Juries to visit the several prisons,
and to mike such reports sod observations to the
Judges on the Assizes, and on tbe rota in that
Court, as the cases might require, or they should
think fit. There were Acts of Parliament giving
Magistrates the power of visiting the 11111,011 s from
time to time; but they did not speak of Grand
Juries, at least as far us be had seen. This was his
opinion, confirmed by that of his Learned Brother ;
but lie would call the attention of the Judges
as soon as he could astOrt. Alio; and must likely
the presiding Judge st the next Sessions would
deliver their opinion as to the right claimed.
It was highly desirable that .Grand Juries should
deliver their opinions a. to the state of the gaols ;
cud lie had no doubt if they applied to the Sheriff
he would give directions that they should be ad-
mitted into the prison.
Mr. Corbould, one of tire Grand Jury. said that
this was not a party qatration ; the object of their
application was to have the right established by the
decisiou of the Judges; They would nut take that '
as a matter of courtesy. which they conceived to be
a right. He begged net eras misuuderstood; tbe
'question Was one of rewt iuipurtance, and he
was glad to see their, Lordships attach the sista*
importatice to it which they dui,
Mr. Justice **SIM repeated that he would cell

had. iu the intim time so &Sob& that proper three-
