MEETING OF MIDDLESEX
MAGISTRATES.

- -
On Thursday there was a numerous meeting of the magis-
trates for the county of Middlesex, at the Sessions-house,
Clerkenwell-green ; Mr. H, Pownall occupying the chair.
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and unani-
mously confirmed.
STATE OF THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
The report of the visiting justices of the House of Correc-
tion, Coldbath-fields, was then read. It stated that there
were at present 968 prisoners confined within its walls, of
whom 756 were males and 282 were females. There were
also five children in confinement.
The report was received and adopted.
STATE OF THE WESTMINSTER. HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
The report from the visiting justices of this prison was
next read, when it appeared that the number of prisoners
confined in that gaol was 662, namely, 496 males and 106
females.
This report was also received and adopted.
THE TREADWHEEL AND FEMALE PRISONERS.
Mr. Walesby's motion for the abolition of the use of the
treadwheel in the case of female prisoners at the House of
Correction, Coldbath-fiields, was postponed to the next
county-day, in consequence, as was understood, of the indis-
position of that gentleman.
THE LATE MR. BTNG. •

The CHAIRMAN intimated that he had received the fol-
lowing letter from Lord Strafford, the brother of their late
lamented representative in Parliament, Mr. Byng. He had,
in compliance with the wishes of the Court on a former day,
forwarded the resolutions of condolence which the bench had
unanimously passed upon that occasion to the Noble Lord,
accompanied by the request that his Lordship would be so
kind as to convey them to Mrs. Byng, to which solicitation
the Court would find his Lordship had assented.

London, Jan. 27.

letter, dated 25th inst., with accompanying resolutions
passed unanimously at the General Quarter Sessions for the
county of Middlesex on the 21st inst.

my lamented brother cannot but be gratifying to me, coming
as it does from those who knew him so well, and I most
readily comply with your request to enclose the same to my
sister, Mrs. Byng.-1 have the honour, &c.,
