" UnabsOlved, unannealed, with all
Ms imperfections on his head."
The existence of this punishment enfeebles the decision
of their tribunals, for the magnitude of the punishment
threw the crime into the shade. The decisions of the
jury ought to be clear and distinct, and not overshadowed
by the magnitude of the penalty imposed by the law.
But what was the effect upon the public—the public to
whom they ought first of all to look—the public for
whose sake it was said that capital punishments were
to be continued as an example ? Why, if ca-
pital punishment was to be continued, should they
not make it a solemn, a serious ceremony? why not in-
vest it with all the dignity of decorum ? But, instead
of that, it was carried out hurriedly, at an early
hour of the morning, and had no salutary effect.
But what was the glorious example it was said
to inculcate ? Would they wish any of their
relatives, any of their children, to witness an excecution
with the view of inculcating a deep moral lesson ?
What father would take his children to witness such an
exhibition ? None. Yet they held that such exhibi-
tions were for the public good ; but were the people
whom they ought to do all in their power to elevate, in-
stead of debasing and demoralizing, to be allowed longer
to witness such sanguinary spectacles, and to have their
natures thereby perverted and hardened ? What, he
would ask, was the effect of an exhibition upon the crowd
who witnessed it ? It was expected, as he had said,
to do good ; but they left it with abhor-
rence and disgust. And move, it had been
proved— repeatedly proved—that the spectators were
brutalised, that many had subsequently become
criminals, and that a great majority of the number who
bad been executed bad, at some period of their lives,
witnessed au executicn.—(Hear, hear.) If it conferred
good upon the public if it inculcated a great
moral lesson its infliction ought to be more
dignified, instead of hurrying it over as if they were
ashamed of what they were doing. Its effect was bad
in the extreme, for after the criminal was rather con-
sidered a hero than pitied. Attempts had been made
to get the punishment inflicted in private, in order
that the public mind might not be brutalised; but if it
were made private what rvould become of the example they
wished to inculcate?—there was an end of it at once.
But further, if they established private executions, where
then was their great moral example ? Such punish-
ments could not be inflicted in a free country without re-
ceiving the full force and pressure of public opinion ; and
in a country like England, no punishment that did
not fully combine the feeling of public aeprobation,
could be long maintained it must have the full expres-
sion of this opinion in its favour. It mi4ht be said that
public opinion went in favour of the law, but the peti-
tions which he had presented that night would show
that this was not so. And not only these petitions, but
daily experience and the annually growing feeling of the
country was against the punishment of death. But it might
be asked, what would he substitute for it ? Under the
refinement of the system of punishment which had taken
place thep might fairly substitute imprisonment for
life. '1 his had been tried in other countries, and he saw
no reason why it should not be tried in this. It was said
this system of punishment was not severe enough; in his
opinion it was far more severe on the individual than
the punishment of death, while it held out some
prospect of the reformation of the criminal.
Iu shorter periods of imprisonment the prisoner might
come out, if not altogether improved, at least compara-
tively pure. This might be done by imprisonment, and
if legislation could not accomplish every thing, it might
do much towards alleviating the evils by which the pre
sent system was beset. But it was not for the object of
punishment that the imprisonment should be imposed, so
much as the reformation of the prisoner, and they must
strike deeper than that for the extirpation st crime.
They must educate the people, and not leave them to
conceive that punishment was to become a sort of re-
venge. There were two sorts of education—one
which was internal, and which arose from the
operations of the mind itself ; and the other which
was external, derivable from the influence of external
objects. Those were the means by which they were
to effect the improvement of the culprit, for if they
looked to the periods when the punishments were most
severe, they would find that crime was at that
time most frequent. They need not look to the time
of Henry the Eighth, when 70,000 persons were
executed, but to contemporaneous history they would
find from the excellent book of the King of Sweden, that
in Spain, where crime was most frequent there was one
execution to every 150,000 persons, but in Sweden there
was one only to every 170,000 of the population.
The Hon. Member then quoted certain statistics to show
that in those countries where the punishment of death was
less frequent, the crime of murder was proportionably di-
minished. He was aware this subject required the exercise
of great patience on the part of the House, as the argu-
ments were neither very new nor very interesting ; but
there was one point to which he must refer, he
meant the consideration of this questio in connexion
with the doctrine of Christian repeutance. Some of the
opponents of the abolition of the punishment of death
had conceded that two or three, four, five, or ten days
should be granted for repentance, but they thus con-
ceded the principle that the abolition of all capital
punishment was necessary, as who could tell what period
was required for repentance. In all periods of the his-
tory of the world, when civilisation had advanced
to the highest point, and the greatest wish
was shown to avoid the infliction of the punishment
of death, in the high and palmy days of Rome, at the
close of her Republic, when she had attained the period
of her highest grandeur, and her greatest civilisation,
they found in the fourth oration of Cicero against Cate-
line, that there were many among them who said
" itiortem a diis immortulibus non supplicii eansam esse
datam ; itaque cum sapientis nunquam inviti fortes saepe
libenter oppetiverunt."They found that this aversion to
inflict the punishment of death was admirably depicted
in a speech of Mons. De Lamartine some years
ago in the Chamber of Deputies in Paris.
He called :upon the House to unite with him in re-
pealing the punishment of death, to achieve thereby
a great social, moral, and religious victory, and to
ofrer up a last sacrifice, expiatory of the sanguinary
legislation of the past, upon the united altars of civilisa-
tion and Christianity.
Dr. BOWRING, in seconding the motion, said that
every discussion which took place in that House, and out
of doors brought the time nearer when the total aboli-
tion of capital punishment would takeplace. Success had
hitherto attended every attempt to mitigate the severity
of the criminal laws of the country, and he doubted not
but that the same result would follow the total abolition
of the punishment of death. It would be found that a dis-
regard of human life was always associated with a state
of barbarism, and that a disposition to reverence '
the sacredness of life, and an unwillingness
to throw it away, was the great, the distin-
guishing boast of civilisation and christianity.
and the furtherst advance of civilisation and phi-
losophy. It would be found also that in a state of
society in which human life was wasted there
would also be found the greatest amount of crime.
The legisturo wanted to create a horror of the crime of
murder, and yet by means of their legislation they be-
came murderers themselves ; they wished to surround
life by safeguards, and yet by their systems of punish-
ment they strove to overthrow and destroy it. If it was
the intention of the legislature to cherish life,
they should not take it away themselves.—(clear.)
The murderer was a man of universal abhorrence, and he
undoubtedly ought to be so ; but did they effect their
object by this mode of punishment ? Had executing
impressed upon the public mind any additional horror?
By no means It appeared to him that of all the human
beings who gather around the scaffold, the greatest
number of them applaud the courage and heroism of the
falfferer, instead of decrying his crime. Let them begin
themselves at the right end, by showing that they were
not willing to destroy life—let them show that life, in
their estimate, was a thing too valuable to be spilt or
thrown away, and thus, by adding to the sanctity of
life, they would lacreate a new state of things, and so im-
prove the public
mind,
as even to effect a reformation in
the ' man who was
disposed to throw life away. The
sacrifices of life,, dainaduedeamount of suffering the pu-
nishment led to,
hyliti:o think that some other
mode of punishment could
safety and propriety be
adopted. It was most gratifyin

Sir GEORGE GREY regretted that he could
agree to the Bill which the Hon. Gentleman h:t
sought leave to introduce. On the present occasion, it
was true he had avoided the objection which was for-
merly entertained with respect to a similar motion
which the Hon. Gentleman made some years ago. In
1841, he believed the Hon. Gentleman brought forward
a resolution, which, if it had been adopted, would have
affirmed that, in the opinion of that House, capital
punishment ought to be altogether abolished. Such a
resolution as that was open to the
greatest objections,
and would have had the effect, if it had been adopted; of
placing ; those intrusted with the administration of
the hore, in a very painful end clifficul; Poiti9ll'

The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in addressing the grand
jury, expressed his satisfaction, that since the last time he
addressed them, there had been a Bill brought into Parlia-
ment, on the subject of criminal jurisprudence, but he had not
as yet had an opportunity of acquainting himself with its
provisions. He trusted, however, that it indicated a move in
the right direction, and that a better system would supersede
the old feudal principles so long prevailing. In
dealing with children convicted of even the pettiest
larceny, they had gAse on the principle of inflicting
punishment, and punishment alone, without the slightest re-
gard for those means of moral suasion likely to effect a re-
formation, or act upon a child's mind. He would ask the
gentlemen of the grand jury, as parents themselves, whether
such a system es that adopted at Psi khurst was likely to
reform the juvenile offenders sent there. In that prison were
al number of solitary cells, in which the boys were locked up
for four months after their admission, by the way (as was
stated) of preparing them for their future reformation, and
while there, they saw no one except the governor or chap
lain, had plenty of knitting work to do, and also plenty of
good books to read ; but the misfortune was, that previous
to putting those books into their hands, they had never
been taught to understand them. He thought such treatment
tended to harden and stupify many of those unfortunate
children, and that a milder system, in which rewards suitable
to childish capacities would be the stimulant instead of the
abstract idea of becoming good and respectable members of
society some twenty or thirty years hence. One of the
rewards adopted as a stimulus to the boys in that prison was,
that if 'well conducted, they were rewarded by being allowed
to communicate with their friends and relatives, but in his
opinion nothing could be more absurd, for too many of these
unfortunate children had neither friends nor relatives in the
world. Many persons seemed to treat the suggestions for
the reformation of juvenile offenders by milder means as a
visionary scheme, but the same was said with respect to the
proposals of those advocating moral pwer over physical
coercion in the treatment of the insane, and he felt sure that
the result would be as successful in one case as in the 43, her,

Sir ROBERT INGLIS considered that human legis.

lation would not be sanctioned in the abolition ofthe
punishment of death for wilful murder, they had the
authority of the word of God for its infliction," Whoso-
ever sheds the blood of man, by man let his blood be
shed ;" he wou!d oppose the introduction of the Bill
upon theological grounds.
Mr. BROTHEREON said that when the slave trade
existed, there were persons ready to justify it by scrip-
tural quotations. The words did not convey a precept,
but merely pointed out the law of retribution, the words
were of the same character as these, " Be who loves the
sword will perish by it."
The House then divided, when there appeared—

Against it

William Henry Vain and Catherine Sullivan were indicted
for stealing two shirts, the property of the guardians of the
poor of the Stepney union.
It a7peartd from the statement of Mr. Ballantine, who
attended on the part of the guardians, that both the prisoners
were pauper inmates of the Mile-End workhouse, the female
prisoner being employed in the laundry, and on the 26th of
February she was observed by another pauper, to give the
two stints to the prisoner Vain, who hid them under his bed-
ding. He was searched as he was in the act of going out, in
about three days afterwards, when the shirts were found con-
cealed under his coat.

The jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and the
prisoners were each sentenced to be imprisoned, and kept to
bard labour for six months.
Ann Page, for stealing a drinking glass, the property of
Mr. William Jarman, the landlord of the Hop-pole public-
house, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment.
James Cremoning for picking the pocket of Reginald
Robert Walpole, was sentenced to three mouths' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Mr. MILNER GIBSON, in moving for leave to in-
troduce a Bill for the collection of agricultural statistics
in England and Wales, said that it would not be neces-
sary to trouble the House at any length upon a Bill of
which every one must see the utility. England and
Wales were divided into superintendent registrars dis-
tricts and registrars districts. It was proposed to obtain
from each registrar's districts through England and
Wales the returns required, by appointing a person to be
called the agricultural enumerator, and upon whom
would be placed the duty of leaving with every farmer a
form, to be filled up, and then, having taken it from the
farmer, it would be forwarded to the superintendent re-
gistrar, who would forward it to the registrar-general in
London, by whom the document would be transmitted
to the Board of Trade. The operation of that Bill would
be confined to England and Wales, but if it were thought
desirable to extend its operation to Ireland, a plain was
under consideration, by which the executive could obtain
the necessary returns. He did not think it necessary to
dwell upon the importance of obtaining a knowledge of
the agricultural produce of the United Kingdom, and he
did not think any plan which had been proposed better
calculated to etf,ct that• object. It was important that
they should know the number of acres sown with whe it,
barley, and oats. lie would, however, lay the Bill be-
fore them, and then they would be better able to judge
of the machinery by which it was worked.
Mr. HUME did not agree with the principle of the
Bill about to be introduce. Under the present Com-
mutation of Tithes Act, the acre and their produce were
enumerated to a square yard and a bushel. It would be
a useless expenditure of the public money, and the pro-
cess would occupy until the day of judgment before the
return could be made.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.
Joseph Newman, described on the charge sheet as a gen-
tleman, was brought before Mr. Coifingham, charged with
assaulting Mr. Willshire, a grocer, residing in Tooiey-street,
also with attempting to steal a silver liqueur-stand and a
large gravy spoon.
Mr. Wil!shire said that the prisoner was his brother-in.
law and had for some time with kis wife lived on bis bounty.
Witness advanced him several sums of money at various times
on the security of his plate and other articles. While witness
was at church on Sunday, the prisoner contrived to get pos-
session of the plate produced, and that morning was in the
act of leaving the house with it, when he stopped him. The
prisoner knocked him down, and had not the police come to
his assistance, he believed he would have murdered him. He
had no wish to press the latter part of the charge, but only
required protection from his violence.
The prisoner said it was quite true that himself and wife
were residing at Mr. Wiltshire's, but he had sufficient pro•
party to pay him whatever he expended. His wife was now
exceedingly ill, and required the attendance of a physician,
and it was for the purpose of paying one that be was about
to take the plate from the house. He considered himself
much ill-used by the complainant.
The latter said that whatever attendance Mrs. Newman
required he would cheerfully pay for, but he could not en-

Among the many discoveries that characterise tie
present age, nothing has contributed so much to the comf.irt
and. ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon
suffering humanity, as that important discovery and never-
failing remedy for gout and rheumatism, Blair's Gout and
Rheumatic Pills. Thousands would lain in the observation
of an elderly female, as made to Mr. Fogget, the agent at
Thirsk—" that she would rather be without butter to her
bread and sugar to her tea, than Blair's Pills." This im-
portant medicine is sold by all medicine venders. Price
2s. 9J. per box. Observe the name of "Thomas Prout, 229,
Strand, London," on the Government stamp.
