2. The endeavour to excite in the humbler classes
the feeling that it is as well their interest as their duty
to correct and control their offspring, sn as to re-
press the growth and commission of crime (if not from
better motive:), that they may avoid the expenses
which under an improved system ought to fad upon
them as a punisbni. nt fir their neglect to perform
towards their children those duties which nature, rea-
son, and religion have alike east upon them. The plan
(Its:cies:ll under the next head of observations is that
by which I propose to accomplish this object ; if such
a plan should be adopted, the nature of the measure
ought to he fully and clearly explained, and its pro-
priety vindicated by the introduction of articles in the
public press in use amongst the classes to whom it is
addressed, and by the publication of familiar tracts.
The changes which from time to time take place
in the laws affecting the crimes and punishments of the
humbler classes, are not, in my opinion, sufficiently pro-
mulgated amongst them to ensure to the public the full
amount of the advantages they are intended to confer.
3.—The establishment of a " Reformatory Tribu-
nal," to be c tiled by that or some other title ; to sit
weekly, or daily if necessary, in the metropolis, for the
trial of offenders under a given age, for certain defined
classes of offence.—The extent of the metropolitan dis-
tricts and the amount of the population, would justify
the establishment of such a tribunal with suitable ma-
chinery for the constant administration of justice, so
that children might never be subject, even for a day, to
the contamination of a gaol. The effect of this would
be, that persons who now suffer youthful depredators to
proceed unchecked would take them before such a tri-
bunal, when they knew it could be done without delay,
and without expecrse, and that it would lead to the cor-
rection, education, and reform of a youthful offender, in-
stead of hardening him in crime.
It is immaterial to the principle I advocate whether
the judgment of the proposed Reformatory Tribunal
should be administered by a judge with, or without, the
assistance of a jury. I am decidedly in favour of a
jury, for several reasons ; amongst others, because, if
trial by jury is a necessary protection for the liberty
of an adult, I know not why a child should be de-
prived of it. The abandonment of trial by jury, in
any case in which we have been accustomed to see it
practised, is calculated to weaken the reverence and
respect with which the institution has been ever che-
rished by Englishmen, and may peril its continuance in
other crocs ; besides which, the poor will fail to entertain
confidence for an institution for the trial of their children
if it has not the same safeguards as are possessed by the
criminal tribunals of the country. . .

I propose that none of the incidents of a conviction
by a criminal tribunal sh,-11 attach to persons committed
y. the proposed Reformatory Court. lam of opinion
• be followed by a lengthened
:iitent in an institution where they would undergo
ccmplete course of religious, moral, mental, and in-
_istrinl training, calculated to exclude bad associates,
eradicate bad principles, and overcome bad habits ; iud,
by substituting opposite qualities and habits, to c:.ipa-
citate the individual, rtt the expiration of his time of
confinement, to get his living in some respectable and
useful art as an honest member of the community.
I contend that for the support and education of
youthful offenders in such an establishment, the parents,
if able, should be made to pay the wbolc, expense ; nod,

a commitment blic

if not al)'.e to pay the whole, they should 1)e made to
contribute according to their means ; awl, in the case
of perketly destitute orphans, or deserted children, the
parish to which they respectively belong should be made
to pny. The State hAs a right to exact payment from
either the parents or the perish as the law now stands,
children are entitled in helpless less and poverty to b.
so maintained ; and if crime be added to destitution,

the obligation ought to be rather considered as strength-
ened than weakened, both on the ground of pulic
right and public policy ; for if the purse of the
State were to be taxed with the support of these
youthful offenders in a reformatory asylum instead
of a gaol, the industrious and honest, who have done
their duty by educating their own children in virtuous
principles and habits would be taxed to confer like
blessings upon the children of those whose neglect or
misconduct had rendered it necessary that the State
should take them under its own protection and control.

If, however, the parent and the parish be made to main-
tain youthful offenders during the period they are being
trained in useful occupations, a powerful motive will be
applied to both, to discharge their relative duties to
children under their care, and thus one of . the most
fruitful sources of crime will be at once cut off.
Although I entertain ,the confident opinion that the
confinement awarded by the proposed Reformatory Tri-
bunal should be of considerable duration to justify the
expectation of an useful result, I think it might be rea-
sonably abridged when, from peculiar circumstances, it
appeared that that result could be attained at a shorter
period ; but Ibis should be in cases where security
could be given by the parents or others for the future
control and protection of the offender, so as to afford a
reasonable assurance that, when released, he would not
relapse into his previous vicious courses.
The voluntary emigration of persons thus educated,
should be encouraged as a means of draining from
the parent state a portion of its surplus population,
who now matriculate in its gaols and houses of correc-
tion, till they attain proficiency in crime, and fill up the
measure of their iniquity, to qualify them for trans-
portation at the expense of their country, and
there swell, by their polluting presence, the cata-
logue of atrocities which the recent investigation
has exposed to public view. A. less period of
moral and industrial training, in the Reformatory
establishment, would quality youth to become useful
and respectable free settlers •ii a n w colony, than would
be requite to fit them to compete with the bolter

The Noble Lord must eow open his breast aced say,
" Wound me J here 3'ett can. I de`y all-your esoer-
sions. The lie direct (rieeording to Major .11.,sse
Cooper's and Capt. Forrest's. assertions, thoneh not le-
ceived in evidence). my behaviour to Lieut. Forrest
about. the key (now whilst the Court-martial is pend-
ing), the assertions contained in Capt. Harvey Tuekett's
letter (which were only partially declared to be false),
I am prepared to meet them all."
His Lordship must also be prepared to meet one
other charge, to be founded on the following facts and
con vers.ii ion :
A regimental Court-martial bleieg taken plane, of
which my ward, Captain John (olds. was a mcrehee,
the sentence, on revision, was not in le:Nri;;nec.:
Lordship's wishes. Sopa el en
Lieutenant) Reynolds applied for le 100 abs we,
when Lord Cardigan answered. " No, S.r. 1 mill ;u'.4
give you leave ; how can you exrct s-, '•;t
you oppose me?" And on being asit I -•• eeie. r
Lieut. Reynolds had opposed him, Lord Cardigan said,
" You were a member of the Court-martial which would
not revise its sentence according to my wishes."
The Court will have to judge from e evidence,
when laid before them in detail, of the possible effect f
such language upon a young man's mind ; for it must
be recollected that members of courts-martial are bound
by their oaths to administer ju.tice according to their
consciences, and not to divulge the opinion of any in-
dividual member of the Court. Conceive tl.e possi-
bility of the Commander-in-Chief's using similar language
hereafter to any individual member of this late court-
martial, if he should apply for indulgence or promotion.
The cases were parallel.
I believe Captain John Reynolds was not the only
officer so tempted and treated, but that there is anotl er
case still stronger.
I have long known the extraordinary case here stated
of Captain John Reynolds, of whom it may be observed.
that he is the young gentleman to whom, amongst others,
the terns " Indian officer" was used, one meaning of
which, both real and implied, may now in some measure
be arrived at. But before Lord Cardigan made use of
that term in a reproachful sense, of which there is
sufficient evidence, he should hat-e recollected
the manner in which these very '‘ India's officers" (many
of whom have now left the regiiwnt, but ts:.o appeared
at the Court-martial to t-stity to Captain Itich4rri Ar:-
thony Reynolds' character) did most genet cus:y coritt
forward, in former days, to sign a paper in favour of
Lord Cardigan himself wi.eri attacked, as they then
thought, unjustly by the press; thus proving incontes-
tibly that no prejudice from bygone eircurnitances oper-
ated upon their minds.
I shall now ask, if there be any truth in all these mat-
ters here related, is it wonderlut that. there should be
excited feelings amongst the., offie see. of the l I tir Ilus.

And now, Sir, one word for toe Horse Guards,
There is a pretty little saying by Satly (I will not en-
croach upon yonr types with the original Persian),
The stream which at its source can t e stopped by
a bodkin. may soon become impassable even by an
elephant."
Unfortunately the Horse Guards have not. employed
the bodkin, at least in the proper place ; and they have
now to cope with the torrent. Let us see how they
will navigate the vessel in these troubled waters. If
they are tired of the Courts-martial, and wield the Royal
authority, they must act so as to regain the confidence
of the army and the country.
The helmsman once removed, and a more calm and
experienced hand placed in his room, the vessel will
float right gallantly ; for the crew, on the whole, is a
good crew ; they will watch the eye of a new chief,
will join heart and hand in the cause, and pull tope:her
with zeal and gratitude for -clangers past, as they
should do.

• corr OF A LETTER TO THE RIGHT LION. LORD HILL

" Preston, Sept. 21. 1840.
" MT Lonu,—lt is with much regret that I have just
seen in the public papers the correspondence respecting
the case of Captain John Reynolds of the 11th Hussars,
which recently occupied your Lordship's attention ; and,
to prevent all possible misconception, I do myself the
honour to inform your Lordship, that neither Captain
Reynolds nor myself are in any way concerned in publish-
ing those papers.
" My object has beer, to appeal f,:r redress to the con-
stituted authorities, a,-d perhaps eventually to the Legts-
ture ; and I regret, for various obvious reasons, that they
have found their way to the public press, especially at the
present moment.

But man) persons who read this will ruco!l,.!ct
pressed wishes and intentions on the subject,
1- In proof of the above, I beg to add an extract from
" Simmons on Courts-Martial," second edition, 1839,
p. 125 :
" It appea►s that the General Officer commanding in chief
has no powr r authoritatively to dispose of the complaint of an
officer who may think himself wronged by a Commanding
Officer, but is required to examine, into iuct:

otii.;:r c

may affect the feeling of his officers, secures to them that
consideration to which, as the bearers of his commission,
they are entitled, and fosters that refined and gentlemanly
feeling for which amongst the armies of Europe they are
so distinguished."
It is needless to add the remainder of the passage, be-
cause no one denies the practice of the Commander-in-
Chief's expressing an opinion on such a complaint : but
" finally to dispose of it"—" to order the officer to make
no further representations"—to intimidate him from claim-
ing his rights, and that with abusive language, is not only
contrary to the usages of the service, but in direct viola-
tion of the Article of War 120. Here it is—" If an
officer shall think himself wronged by his colonel or
the commanding officer of the regiment, and shall. upon
due application made to him, not receive the redress to
which he may consider himself to be entitled, he may
complain to the General Commanding-in-Chief of our
Forces, In order to obtain justice, who is hereby required
to examine into such complaint, and either by himself or
by our Secretary-at-War to make his report to u. tlikere,
upon, in order to receive our further directions."

HAMMERSMITH REFORM CLUB.

After the revision of the list of voters in the Ham-
mersmith district on Wednesday, Messrs. Coppock,
Holmes, and James were invited, by this Club, to par-
take of an excellent dinner at the City Arms, Ham-
mersmith. The Chair was taken by Wm. Wickens,
Esq., and several venerable Reformers were present.
The health of the Queen, the Duke of Sussex, and the
rest of the Royal Family in England, her Majesty's
Ministers, and other Liberal toasts, were drunk with
great enthusiasm. Several excellent speeches were
made, and an unceasing determination expressed by
the members of the Club, to make every effort to
purge the electoral lists for the parishes within this
district of every spurious vote. Indeed, the victory

THE ARMY AND THE HORSE

GUARDS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

am in hopes that great good will eventually
Conic to the military service at large (although at the
cost of a meritorious young officer) by the exposure of
the iniquitous system now carried on in the administra-
tion of the army.
he'present question has nothing whatever to do with
" party ;" but, upon the opinion shown of this case by
the almost unanimous voice of the nation, and upon the
authorities being thus forced eventually to alter their
present ways, depends the question, as to whether the
army is in future to be officered by a set of honourable
and high-minded young men, who, although subordinate
in every sense to proper military discipline, will not
allow their spirit to be borne down by any overbearing
and insulting conduct of a commanding officer set over
them ; or whether it is to be officered by a set f men
t ;tight to bow to every insult, public or private, which
their commanding officer may bestow upon them.
There is, perhaps, hardly a person in the kingdom
who has not a connexion, near or distant, in the army ;
and this question, therefore, concerns the public much
more nearly than would at first appear. It will be
quite impossible for any Comma der-in-Chief, " with the
good of the service at heart," to allow Lord Cardigan
to retain the command of a regiment, in which the ma-
jority of the officers evidently feel no confidence in, or
personal respect for him (at least, without great detri-
ment to the service), and it is to be hoped that, if dis-
placed, no other one will be insulted by having him
again placed in authority over it. In this case, how-
ever, the chief loss to his Lordship will be that he will
be drprivel the pleasure of exercising a despotic com-
mand over two or three hundred Englishmen in uni-
f.,rm. If, how.—aver, Captain Reynolds is obliged to
give up his commission, a fine-spirited young officer, es-
teemed by all ranks with whom lie has as yet served,
and who has by some unaccountable means given the
{„reatest satisfaction to his previous commanding
officers. will he ruined in his profession for life, because
he has hat; the spirit to resist a private insult, the over-
looking of which would have justly exposed him, on the
other hand, to contempt and dishonour.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

MIDDLESEX.

D. Z.

The Revising Barristers resumed their sittings yes-
tcilay at the Sussex Arms, Hammersmith. Mr. Co-
ventry revised the lists for the parishes of St. Luke •
Chelsea, Fulham, and Chiswick ; and Mr. Shadwell
those fur ailing and Acton.
( Before Mr. COVENTRY.)
Among the objections on the overseers' list for the
parish of St. Luke Chelsea, was one taken to Edmund
Singer Burton, whose qualification was stated to he
" leases of houses for year," and the property situated
in " Cadrgm-place."
The Overseers stated that they could not identify the
property.
Mr. Airy intimated that the Court had no power to
strike out the name, tie claimant having sufficiently
cornp'ied with the Act of P.'rliament.
Mr. COVENTRY referred to the Reform Act, and ob-
served that according to the form No. 2, the nature of
the qu:Jification was to be expressed in such a way " as
might serve to irtify it." Then in form No. 3, were
the words " street, lane, or other like place in the pa-
rish (or township) where the property is situated, or
name of the property, or name of the tenant." Under
that healing were t.e words " King-street," but it ap-
peared to him the qualification must he expressed in
such a way as to en able it to be identified.
Mr. Adey, on the part of the Conservatives, in-
isted uprm the case being adjourned, in order that the
number of the house might be stated, although the Act
required no such thing.
Mr. COVENTRY-All the Act requires, Mr. Adey,
and all I require is, that such a description may be
given as will identity the property. How can the
property be identified when the Overseers say they can-
not find it ?
Mr. Adey—The Overseers had no right to make an
ob,ectioc.—(Laughter.) What is the reasonable cause
of the objection ?
The Overseer—We cannot find the property. If
the name of the tenant had been given we should have
been satisfied.

The case was ultimately adjourned, in order that a
better description of the qualification might be given.
The Rev. Mr. harness, the minister of Sloanc-street
Chapel, was objected to by the Liberals, on the ground
that he had no freehold attached to his (Alice.—
Judgment deferred.
(Before Mr. SHADWELL.)

The EalingsLi4 was gone through without any case
of interest arising.
In the Acton List, the Rev. John Booth, Brom-
yard, Herefordshire ; Rev. Wd:iam Cooke, Bromyard,
Herefordshire ; Rsv. John Wood, Dapper, Porleston-
court, Leominster ; R v. Joseph Dudley, Bromyard,
Herefordshire ; Rev. Thomas Green, Broftdwas, near
Woycester ; Rev. William Parsons Hopton, Bishops
From-, Herefordshire ; Rev. Chas. Scott Luxmoore,
R.:ctory-house, Crailley, Herefordshire ; Eyc:-
nezer Smith, Nulbion Port, Somersetshire ; R v R.
Broinyard, Herefordshire ;
J. Wuburton, a paris!i-clerk, Bromyard, Herefordshire ;
cluitnedifor Ire. hold rent-charges, issuing- out of laud
in Acton, This objected to by the Liberals ; and
Burn4rd, hiving proved service, Mr. Coppeek
stated that in the year 158 G, one John Perrin by
will left certain property in Acton to the Goldsmiths'
Cotrpany,-in trust, to pay, among other sums, 26i. per
annum to support a weekly lecture in Bromyard, such
lecture to be preached every Monday in the year. The
a?pointment of the trintees is vested in the Churchwar-
dens of Bromyard, and a payment of 103. each ser-
mon is to be made to the six or eight godly clergymen
whom they are authorised to appoint. A payment of
203. is also to he mad 2 to the parish clerk. Upon
tli s,?. payments of 10s. each per sermon, there appeared
this claim of Mr. Booth and eleven others.

Mr. Coppock put in the report of the Charity Com-
miisioaers, and contended that the parties had no rent-
charge upon the land at Acton ; that they had no office
for life, nor annual payments certain ; that they were
mere recipients of money for preaching a sermon, and
that the Churchwardens could appoint any persons in
their place at any time.
Mr. Turner de"ended the claims ; but
Mr. SHADWELL said there w..s not a shadoN of a
foundation for the claim, and expunged the entire batch.
The fullowitig is the result of the revision yesterday :
