EVENING EDITION.

tl4 Hum- Derroerner a, f/f_7*ig eeerrised to
bear had been suffered by that Gent-onnan.—( Hear, tear. )
The Marquis of Normanbv had written a letter to the authori-
ties, requiring certain relaxations respecting the visiting of
friends, in not affording facilities certainly for issuing political
yublications, but directing the remission of all such personal
inflictions as might be considered degradations.—( Hear.) This
was written before any complaint.—(Hear, bear.) Then the
Noble Marquis had also written for the regulations as to rnis-
dorneanments before the complaints which Mr. O'Connor had
made of his treatment—desiring further to know if he had
been associated with felons, stating that such was contrary
to his conception of the law—(Henr)—and adding that no re-
Fulations should be insisted on prejudicial to his health.— ( Hear,
hear.) The answer to these letters was to the effect that Mr.
O'Connor had himself required to be confined with two
prisoners, and that he had never been desired to perform any
office moreenenial than that of making his own bed, which was
now dispensed with.—( Hear, hear.) That Mr. O'Connor
had asked for no fresh medical attendance, o- that his health
was far better than when he first came.—(Hear, hear.) The
Marquis of Normanby again wrote on the 30th May, desiring
that his former directions should be adhered to. and further
that Mr. O'Connor be allowed to see his friends constantly.
He thought it fully appeared from those letters that it had been
the desire of his Noble Friend that no indignity or degradation
should be suffered by Mr. O'Connor, of any description, as a
prisoner in York Castle; and, further, that the sentence should
Die carried out in a way befitting his cormer habits of life, and
his condition of health.; and that, in fact, his health was now
in as good a condition as when he came into the prison.—
(Hear.) But there was a discrepancy between his statement
and that of the Magistrates. Mr. O'Nnnor said that medical
assistance, for which he had applied, had been refused to him,
and the Justices assured Lord Normanby that no such ads ice
had been applied for. How far the recommendation of his
Noble Friend had been carried out, he was not able to state.
He should take care that the petition be referred to the Jus-
tices, in order that they might give a specific answer to every
charge.—( Hear, hear.) He thought this was due to the
Magistrates, for he must say that he thought some of the state-
ments were exaggerated.—( Hear, hear.)
Mr. WAKLEY thought that, after the statement of the
Right Hon. Gentleman, it would be better to postpone the
motion to Thursday or Friday next, until information could be
received as to the replies of the Justices. He had received
himself, this day, a letter from Mr. Feargus O'Connor, which
be thought he would best seree that Gentleman's interest by
withheldine for the present.—(Hear, hear.) He thought from
what had been stated, that a better course of treatment was in
Progress, and he would therefore move that the debate be ad-
.ourned to Thursday week.
Sir R. INGLIS hoped that whatever alteretion might be
made in the condition of prisoners would be made without re-
ference to their former positions in life.
Sir R. PEEL regretted to hear that there was an objection to
the removal of a prisoner from the Penitentiary on account of the
expense which would be occasioned to another county. He thought
there was an error in sending Mr. Vincent to the Penitentiary
in the firsts iestanee, but he thought there was a general advan-
tage in leaving the power to the Crown of sending prisoners to
ether gaols than those in which the Judges had allotted their
sentence.
After a few words from Mr. Sergeant TA L FOU RD and Mr.
AoetoNae, the motion was withdrawn.
On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL it was agreed that the
House, at its rising, should adjourn to Thursday.
The Irish Registration Bill was brought in by the SOLI-
CITOR-GENERAL, and read a first time.
The Orders of the lay were then disposed of, and the House
adjourned at Half-past One o'Clecle
