OU2fY3REAK AMONG ME CONVICTS

AT CHATHAM.

;tached

service
tuses of
Colonel

A e onsiderable degree of uneasiness, amounting
almost t to alarm,. has been occasioned to the officials
of the convict prison, St. Mary's, Chatham, during
the la, st few days, in consequence of the disaffection
and m ntinous conduct of the convicts confined in
that e itablishrnent. The first symptom of anything
like a ft outbreak among the inmates of the prison
occurr ed on Sunday last, and was intimately con-
nected with the attempted escape of two notorious
convic is on the previous day. From what has
transp ired it seems that a plan of escape from the
establishment had been arranged by a convict
named. Peters, who is under sentence of 10 years'
penal servitude, and who had taken some of the
others into his confidence by promising to release
them illom their cells. Peters, although employed
in whatt is termed.the light labour department of
the prawn, had managed to become possessed of a
skeleton key, but how it came into his possession
o'clock on Saturday morning Peters and
cannot be ascertained, though it appears probable
it was given him by one of the convicts employed
o7ther convicts were in the hall of the prison
flack periodical medical examination, when
in the dockyard and outside the prison. Between
s
sintogok the opportunity to escape from the hall
6ar
oweamtnaeeidrt
by unlocking the door with his skeleton key. He
then erossed the parade ground to one of the cells
occupied by s notorious character, named Bennett,
who is under sentence of penal servitude for life for
numerous burglaries in London, Eta was in the act
of unlocking his cell door, when he was seized by
a warder, and secured before he could accomplish
his intentions, the key being thrown on the ground.
From information received by the prison officials
it was , known that a large skeleton key for
unlocking the outer doors of the prison, as well
as a razor, was in the possession of one of the
convicts, and after Peters had been secured,
Captain Powell, the governor, directed a minute
search to be made of all the convicts and cells with
the hope of discovering them. The search, how-,
ever, was fruitless, and up to the present time
neither, the suspected skeleton key nor the razor
has :been discovered. Qn Sunday morning. the
convicts, of . whom there were about 1,000 in the
prison, commenced disturbing the minister during
the service in chapel by hooting, yelling, cheering,
and other marks of disapprobation, although no
act of violence was resorted t 0.4.; The outbreak, it
appears, was led by a few most,desperate menwho
have recently been admitted under sentence of
penal servitude for life. Immediately on the symp-
toms of a mutinous conduct developing themselves
the governor, Mr. Meason, deputy governor, and
the officials used prompt measures to suppress the
outbreak. Several of the ringleaders were removed,
and placed in the punishment cells to await an
investigation into their conduct. On Monday and
following days extra warders, of whom there are
always about 150 employed in the 'establishment,
all heavily armed, were placed in the chapel, but
this did not prevent further diSturbances being
made by yelling, cheering, and other disorderly
sounds. While in their cells the most discordant
noises were made, and in g few instances some of
the convicts commenced smashing their cell win-
dows and breaking the cell furniture. Notwith-
standing that several of the convicts discovered to
be the leaders in the outbreak were seized and
dragged out of the chapel, this did not prevent
those remaining in indulging in the sane mutinous
behaviour. About 30 of the principal convicts who
have made themselves conspicuous on these occa-
sions of insubordination are now in separate con-
finement awaiting the punishment which will be
awarded them ; but nearly all these are under sen-
tence of penal servitude for life, and knowing that
their term of imprisonment cannot be extended i
makes them reckless in their conduct. An official
report of the circumstances has been made by
Captain Powell to the Home Secretary, who has
directed Captain Gambier, the director of convict
establishments, to institute an immediate investi-
gation. Yesterday the inmates of the prison mani-
fested scarcely any symptoms of insubordination,and
comparative order had been established. Captain
Gambier is expected at the convict prison this
morning to commence his official inquiry.

OClErir for the RELIEF of DISTRESS.—This
Society derives its origin from the following cause:—
That, notwithstanding the operation of the poor law and
the nurnerous existing charitable associations, human
beings, although within a stone's throw of the plenty,
luxury, and refinement of this wealthy metropolis, die
miserably of hunger and the want of the common neces-
&Tries of life.
To prevent as far as possible the recurrence of an evil so
disgraceful to our social system, it is proposed in the first
instance to establish a co-operative system of visiting the
poor, by aiding and increasing the power of existing local
institutions which have this object in view.
To bring to the notice of parochial authorities such cases
aq legitimately belong to them alone, io aid the police and
the Mendicity Society, to detect imposture, and to bring to
the care of hospitals, refuges, penitentiaries, and existing
'charitable associations those cases for which their several
institutions were established.
Special and urgent cases of distress indicated by the
clergy ministers of all denominations, medical profession,
or agents of any existing Society, will be relieved as far as
possible by the judicious application of funds entrusted to
district committees and local responsible persons appointed
by them for the purpose. -
No cases will be relieved by money or otherwise at the
central office.
The promoters of this movement now come forward, not
in any spirit of opposition to existing societies, but, on the
contrary, with the strong desire to co-operate with and assist
them in the arduous task in which they, with such praise-
worthy zeal and perseverance, have been so many years
labrJriously engaged.
They now claim to be met in the spirit in which they
advance, with the sole purpose of furthering, by friendly
intercourse, the great Christian object which all charitable
associations have in view.
The following noblemen and gentlemen having combined
to form a Guarantee Committee, by whom the entire ex-
penses of management are to be defrayed, the Society now
call upon the public to entrust it with the requisite funds,
which shall be applied, without the smallest deduction, to
the relief of genuine distress.
