COMMITTING PRISONERS.—We have before alluded
to the practice of committing prisoners over the assizes, to
quarter sessions for trial. We have been favoured this week
with the following statement on the subject, which we re-
quest our country magistrates to peruse with care Int
the time of Baron Wood, when at the Stafford assizes, he
held that the assizes being a GENERAL gaol delivery, ALL
prisoners in custody at the time were entitled to be tried;
and those against whom no bills had been preferred (being
reserved for the quarter sessions) were all ordered to be dis-
charged. Commitments for trial at the next quarter ses-
sions ( which are not frequent when assizes may intervene)
are, therefore, deemed irregular.' " It is really high time
that this unjust and illegal practice were put a stop to, for
it involves in point of fact A FALSE impaisormorr, and
tends to subject many an INNOCENT man to needless pail%
and loss As to the question of expense, it has no riiihteotal
connexion with the matter at all, which is one of justice,.
and not of money. A magistrate has no right, as a mere-
matter of volition, to delay the trial of a prisoner for a single
hour. The law orders that such trial shall take place with-
out more delay than is necessary to carry out the arrange-
ments made by Act of Parliament; and certainly it is most
preposterous that the men whose business it is to administer
the laws, should tnemselves be guilty of their violation.--

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
ACTIJAEY—J. T. Clement, Esq.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the
Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of
45 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual
interest.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum,
Without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been
calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half
the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years,
thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate
payment of the premium for 5001. only.
The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.
for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by
merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should
the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then
be deducted.

The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Premiums become
due at Lady-day, that no extra charge is made at this Office for the
transfer of Policies, and that they will be rated on terms peculiarly
favourable to parties insuring.
Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven
years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for six.
