THE NEW ramos AT HOLLOWAY.

Alderman CHALLIS (the Lord Mayor elect)
brought up the report of the committee in relation to
gaols, to whom it was referred to ascertain and re-
port on the number and salaries of the officers re-
quired for the new prison at Holloway, and what
officers now employed by the corporation are suitable
to fill such situations, with power to fit up and pre-
pare the magistrates' room for their use, and the prison
for the reception of prisoners. The following are the
principal parts of the report :
" We gave instructions for preparing and furnishing
the magistrates' rooms for their immediate use, and re-
ferred it to a sub-committee to consider that part of the
reference which related to the number and salaries of
the officers, and the best course to be recommended for
adoption as to filling up the requisite appointments, and
also with reference to titling up the prison; and we also
directed the City architect to procure and lay before us
tenders for the fittings for the same, and the City solici-
tor to consider the several provisions of the Gaol Acts
of Parliament, and to report to us what was requisite to
be done with respect to opening the prison, and the
nature of the prisonera to be confined therein.
" In consequence of our directions, on the 23d of July
last the sub-committee received various tenders, and
entered into ageernent with sundry parties for the per-
formance of the works required (under the superinten-
dence and directions of the City architect) for fitting up
the said prison, which has been carried out to our sa-
tisfaction, and the said prison completed for the recep-
tion of prisoners. The sub-committee also in part pro-
ceeded to the consideration of the officers to be appointed
thereto, and the salaries to be allowed them, and the
better to enable them to form a correct judgment on
this point had a return of the various ages. salaries,
and allowances of the present subordinate officers of the
Giltspur-etreet Compter, with two lists from Mr. Laurie,
the clerk of the works at the new prison, of the number
of officers that would be required there, and of the
rooms or apartments provided for their accommodation.
In addition to which Mr. Town Clerk laid before them
an abstract from the 15th report of the Inspectors of
Prisons for the Home District in the year 1850, of the
salaries paid to the keepers of prisons in the kingdom
generally, commencing with 3001, per annum each and
upwards, with their residences and allowances, and also
of the salaries paid to the cheplaies and surgeons of
these prisons.
"The solicitor has subsequently reported to us the
particulars requisite to be observed by this honourable
Court on the removal of prisoners to the said gaol, and
submitted to us the draft of an order to be passed by the
Court with respect to the nature and description of pri-
soners to be confined there which we have caused to be
hereunto annexed, and approving thereof recommend the
same to this honourable Court for adoption, and that the
same bo notified to the several aldermen, justices of the
said city, and advertised agreeably to the provisions of
the Act of Parliament; and we also recommend the Court
to direct the removal of the prisoners from the Giltspur-
street Compter to the said new prison from and after
Wednesday the 6th of October next. We have not yet
been enabled to go sufficiently into the reference with rue:
spent to the requisite officers for the said prison,ea_2..
therefore recommend this honourable Court ie_irotb_

adhered to the same principle, and opened the

season should arrive.
Alderman FAREBROTIIER said there was this im"
portant matter for consideration in the changes which
must take place with respect to those officers who at
present occupied the principal situations in the city
prisons. He could bear the strongest testimony, from
an acquaintance of many years to the highly honour-
able and efficient conduct of Mr. Cope, the Governor
of Nevegate.—(Hear, hear.) He also believed Mr.
Wright, the Deputy-Governor, to he in every respect
qualified to undertake the duties of the highest situa-
tions in our prisons ; but how to dispose of others
who had claims for long services had not been hinted
at. The report was in that respect,
in his opinior,
defective.
Alderman LAWRENCE confirmed the statement of
Alderman Challis, that the committee had been actingu
upon the principle of economy, and that they bad pro-
ceeded in such a manner es not to
teedpr or confuse
the important subject. He admi that the citY
prison establishments were expensive, but there were
peculiarities in their condition which accounted for
the apparent extravagance. Sometimes the gaol of
Newgate was crowded with prisoners, and sometime!
it was almost empty. What then were they to do:
Were they to discharge the turnkeys and other off'
cers whenever the gaol was cleared, and reeengeg°
them when a glut came ? or were they to take them
upon board wages ?—(Hear, hear.) He believed thate
the governors of these prisons were paid at an extrettnto
rate; but the case would be different
any future governor. He congratulated his brother
magistrates upon the completion of a new prison,.wie
which employment—the great preventative of erl. e
—could be given to the inmates upon an extensive
scale. ry will take

a man named Richard Smith, a watchman at some build-
ings at present erecting in St. Alban's-road, South-end,
Kensington, was brought into St. George's Hospital under
the following circumstances: —lle was watching the houses
in conjunction with another watchman named Ford, and
about half-past two o'clock in the morning Smith was exa-
mining one of the partially finished tenements, when be
fancied he saw something moving among a heap of shavings
on the kitchen floor, which, upon searching, turned out to be
Ford. Smith shook him and roused him up, saying that it
was not fair to shirk his work in that manner, leaving biro
(Smith) to do it all, and he could not stand it. Upon thig
Ford rose up and struck Smith several times with a heavy'
bar of wood, which soon rendered him insensible, and
