At the ANNIVERSARY MEETING of the SOCIETI ,
held at Freemasons'-hall, Great Queen-street, on Monday, the
2d of June, 1823, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLOU-
CESTER, Patron, in the Chair, the following Resolutions
were unanimously agreed to :
It was moved by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester,
and seconded by Lord Calthorpe,
1. That the substance of the Report which had been now
read, with such additions thereto as may be considered ad-
visable, be printed and circulated, under the direction of the
Committee.
It was moved by Earl Grosvenor, and seconded by Sir James
3lackintosh , M.P.
2. That this meeting derives sincere gratification from the
increasing prosperity and usefulness of this institution, from the
public interest which continues to prevail for the improvement
of prison disci dine, and for the measures now in progress for
the erection of new and the amendment of old prisons. That,
notwithstanding, however, the visible progress of amelioration,
it is yet painful to reflect that a considerable number of prisons,
especially those under local jurisdiction, are devoid of classifica-
tion and employment, and of that discipline which can alone
correct and reclaim the offender, in some cases confounding in one
common association the several distinctions of character and
crime, and are otherwise in such a state as to call imperiously
for the interference of the Legislature. That it is, therefore, with
anxious solicitude this meeting looks forward to the completion
of those measures which are now before Parliament, for die con.
solidation and amendment of prison laws; convined that legis-
lative enactments; founded on wise principles, are indispens-
able, before the prisons of this kingdom can be regulated by a
system that will at once deter the criminal, yet promote his re.
formation, and add to the public welfare and security by the
prevention of crime.
It was moved by Wm. Wilberforce, Esq. M.P.; and se-
conded by Sir Thomas Dyke Adana, Bart. M.P.
3. That the respectful thanks of this meeting be presented
to the Magistracy throughout the kingdom, to whom the im.
provement of prison discipline has been so essentially indebted,
for the cordial co-operation which they have evinced in pro-
moting the designs of this institution.
It was moved by the Right Hon. J. M. Barry, M.P. ; and
seconded by W. Caras Wilson, Esq. M.P.
4. That the situation of a criminal youth disposed to abandon
his vicious courses, but discharged from prison without money,
character, or friends, is one which has strong claims as well on
the interests as on the compassion of the'public. That the nu-
merous boys thus circumstanced, who, on their liberation from
the goals of the Metropolis, have received relief from the Prison
Discipline Society, and the success of its endeavours to reform,
entitle the Institution to the warm support of the enlightened
and benevolent; and that it is, therefore, with deep regret this
meeting learns that the Committee have, during the past year,
been compelled to deny assistance to many whom timely relief
might have rescued from guilt and misery.
It was moved by the Right Hon. Sir George Rose, Bart.,
M.P.; and seconded by the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, of Hert-
ford.

6. That the grateful thanks of this Meeting be presented to
His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, for the benefit
which the institution has derived from his illustrious patron.
age, the obliging readiness with which he has participated in the
labours of the Committee, and for the urbanity with which he
has presided on the present occasion.
The object of this Institution is to extend those principles,
and promote those designs, to diffuse which the labours of
Howard, and other eminent philanthropists, have been di.
rected. The Society ascertains and recommends those plans
for the regulation of prisons, which experience has proved best
calculated to inspire the criminal with the dread of imprison.
ment, and to induce him, on his liberation, to abandon his
guilty habits. The Society collects and transmits information,
prints and disperses useful publications, prepares such de.
signs for the erection of new and alteration of old prisons,
as are best adapted to ensure the classification, inspection,
religious instruction, hard labour, and regulai employment, of
the criminal.

In the course of their visits to the gaols in the metropolis,
the Committee very frequently meet with destitute boys, who
on their discharge from confinement, literally. know not where
tojay their heads. To assist such friendless outcasts has been
the practice of the Society, and to render this relief more efii.
cacious, a Temporary Refuge has been established for such as
are disposed to abandon their vicious courses. This asylum
has been instrumental in affording assistance to a considerable
number of distressed youths, who, but for this seasonable aid,
must have resorted to criminal practices for support. On ad.
mission into this establishment, the boys are instructed in moral
and religious duty, subjected to habits of order and industry,
and after a time are placed in situations which afford a rea-
sonable prospect of their becoming honest and useful members
of society.
To extend these objects, and to render its exertions more
widely beneficial, the Society solicits the aid of public be-
nevolence. Its expences are unavoidably serious, and its funds
are at present very low ; but it is trusted that pecuniary sup.
port will not be withheld, when it is considered, that on the
berality with which this appeal is answered depends, In a great
measure, the success of the Society's objects—the reforpiation
of the vicious, and the prevention of crime.

PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JUNE 5.

Mr. DENT presented a Return of the Number of Causes
tried at the Great Sessions in \Vales from 1812 to the present
year; also Returns of the Number of Attornies practising in
the Courts of Wales ; of the Number of Causes tried in the
Law Courts; and of the Bills of Chancery filed in Wales dur-
ing the same period.
MARRIAGE ACT AMENDMENT BILL.
On the motion for taking into consideration the Report on
the Marriage Act Amendment Bill,
lalrd STOWELL proposed a clause to allow bans to be
published and marriages to be celebrated in any convenient
place within the parish, when the parish church was under-
going repairs.
Lord REDESDALE suggested that the place selected for
such a purpose should be one that was used for divine service.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL though( that as there was a
clause in the Bill allowing the publication of bans in an ad-
joining parish, where the parties lived in a plaee which was
extra parochial, the
.prinoiPle might be extended..without any
inconvenience to parishes where the churches were under repair.
The Bishop of LONDON observed, that the practice in Lon-
don was when a church was under repair, to leave a part of it
always fit for the celebration of marriage. The subject was
one that required some consideration, and he hoped the Noble
Ldrd would have no objection to postpone it until the third
reading of the Bill.
The clause was accordingly postponed.
Lord ELLENBOROUGII saint, that be had a clause to
propose, which he was persuaded would be generally recog-
nized as in perfect accordance with the principles of religion
and morality. Marriages contracted with the prohibited de-
grees were not voidable by legal proceedings, but he should
move that all such marriages contracted after the Ist of No-
vember, when the Bill would come into operation, should be
void ab initio. It was his wish that the clause should be con-
fined strictly to those cases which were.prohibited by the law
of God; but there was a difference of opinion on this subject,
and some of the cases which it was considered desirable to in-
clude were of a nature to require prohibition from moral con-
siderations. Ills Lordship concluded with moving, that all
marriages prohibited by the table, published in the year 1563,
should be void abinitio.

After a few words from Lord PO'WERSCOURT, who ob-
jected to the prohibition of any marriage not prohibited by the
law of God, the clause was agreed to.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL expressed a wish for the adop..
tion of a clause, providing that minors procuring themselves to
be married byperjury, fraud, or contrivance, should be de-
prived of the right to any property to which they would other.
wise be entitled under such marriage. There was a clause to
that effect in the present Bill applicable to the case of marriages
by license, but as in the great majority of cases such practices
took place in marriages by bans, he thought it but just that the
clause should extend to them. He was desirous at the same
time that the marriage should be valid, though the property
was forfeited.

The Earl of WESTMORLAND thought that a clause
should be added to this for the security of a flirjitie purchaser
of an estate which had come into the possession of the seller
under a marriage so circumstanced. As, however, the present
clause was so important, he thought it would be better to post-
pone it till the third reading of the Rill.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said he should have no objec-
tion to such a clause, and thought that another should be
introduced to perpetuate the evidence of marriages celebrated
abroad.

Lord STOWELL said that such evidence was carefully pre.
served when transmitted. The Report was then agreed to, and
the third reading of the Bill was fixed for Monday.
_ _ MARRIAGE OF DISSENTERS.

The Marquis 4 CAR§bOVirivaia; he would avail him..
self of that opportunity to presents Bill which he had prepared,
in conformity with several petitions presented from numerous
bodies of Dissenters, praying to be allowed to solemnize
3larriiges in a manner more conformable to their religious opl..
nions, than the ceremony of the Established Church.
The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second
time on Thitirtulay.
The second reading of the Irish Grand Jury Presentments
Bill was fixetrfor Monday.—Adjourned.
