BROS said the visiting justices might, if they
thought proper, apply to Canon Ringrose to attend

Sir W. MORSHEAD said the visiting justices
would ask Canon Ringrose, if any of the prisoners
informed them that they wanted to have his spiritual
advice.

Mr. MERRY said he thought it was very impro-
per that this matter should have been brought be-

the visiting justices.
Lord BARRINGTON (the chairman)—Nothing had
been done. The question had only been ventilated.
(A laugh.)
The subject then dropped.
