MEETING OF MIDDLESEX

MAGISTRATES.

Yesterday a general meeting of the Magistrates of Middle-
sex was held at the Sessions-House, Clarkenwell, Mr. B.
ROTCH in the chair.
The minutes of the last session were read. The Chairman
announced that one of the sureties of the County Treasurer
was deceased, and another must be proposed ; but he thought
the amo;_nt of the required bond (20,0001.) was excessive, and
quite disproportionate to the case, as the treasurer seldom had
more than 4,0001. at one time in his hands.

The subject was referred to the Committee for general pur-
poses.
The CHAIRMAN announced that the present system of re-
moving Scotch and Irish paupers had caused a great diminu-
tion. Up to this period last year 141 were passed, but the
number for this year was only 69.
The claim of Mr. Cope, the governor of Newgate, for fees
and expenses of removing prisoners, amounting to 2,1291., was
referred to a Committee.
