MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAIsi GE—WEDNESDAY.
A fair average quantity of English Wheat was on
offer in to days market. As the attendance
both of town and country buyers was small,
and the pressure of Foreign Wheat and Flour
for sale extensive, the demands for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce ruled very inactive at Mon-
day's prices, and a total clearance was not effected. Fo-
reign Wheat, the imports of whieh this week have been
confined to 4,910 quarters, met a very dull inquiry, and
the most inferior parcels were lower to purchase.
Very little English Barley was on show, but
the supply of Foreign was extensive. Most
kinds were, a slow sale, at Monday's prices.
In Malt so little business was doing that the quotations
were almost nominal. Oats sold freely, at the late de
cline. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal were heavy.
The nominal top price of Town-male Flour was 37a per
280 Ibs, being a decline of is.

LeArned Counsel.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
The COURT took the special paper to-day, but no
cas,e involving any question of general importance came
on during the morning.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
Their Lordships proceeded with the demurrer paper
to-day. The first case on the list was that of "Levy v.
Mt/lan and others," but the arguments were of a
purely technical character, and not of sufficient interest
to justify a report. The circumstances out of which the
action arose will perhaps be in the recollection of our
readers. The plaintiff uas a suitor in the Westminster
County Court, of which the defendant, Moy lan, was
the judge, and the action was brought to recover da-
mages for an alleged illegal imprisonment. The
plaintiff, it will be remembered, was considered to offer
an insult to Mr. Moylan while on the bench, and was
in consequence committed for seven days to the House of
Correction.

_ -
The arguments had not concluded when we went to
press.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
The motions which came before the Court this morn-
ing related simply to matters of practice, and presented
no feature calling for a report.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
AN ARTFUL BEGGAR.—Richard Collins; a well•kuown
vagrant, was brought before Mr. Hardwick charged
wi:h being drunk and begging in the public street;.
Police-constable 94 E stated, that about eight o'clock
on the pr::-ious night he saw tho prisoner, who was very
drunk, br,-;irig of 'several gentlemen in Charlotte-
street, Fitzroy square. He watched him for some time,
when he observed that he appeared to walk lame, as-if
his loft leg was contracted and shorter than the other.
After walking in that way for some distance wit-
ness was surprised to see that leg suddenly
restored to its original straightness, and the
right leg contracted; thus he kept on changing his ap-
parent lameness from one leg to the other in remarkably
quick succession. Several persons-who were passing gave '
the prisoner money, whereupon witness went up and
took him into custody. On the way to the station the
prisoner vi as very violent, and made use of the most
abusive language. Witness added that the prisoner was
a regular impostor, and had been several times con.
victed.

The prisoner, who stoutly denied the charge, was
committed for a month with hard labour.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS BILL.
On the order of the day being read for the second
reading of this Bill,
Mr. M. MILNES, after presenting a petition from the
Philanthropic Association in favour of the Bill, pro-
ceeded to say he had been long led to consider the
dreadful state of juvenile offenders in this country, and
the cost and inefficacy of the means used ft om time to
time to bring about their reformation. The Right lion.
Secretary for the Home Department presented a petition
the other night to the House, signed by .50 chaplains of
the principal gaols in the United Kingdom, in which
they stated that a large amount of juvenile crime
might be prevented by the establishment of
industrial schools, and an effective system of
instruction. They referred in that petition to an
observation cf Mr. Baron Alderson, to the effect that the
expenses incurred in trying juvenile offenders greatly
exceeded the probable cost of an effective reform, and,
moreover, that their reform would cut off one of the
most prolific sources of crime. The English law was
peculiarly distinguished by its severity in punishing the
offences of children. In other countries they were
treated with more leniency by the law. By the old civil
law, now extant, no child was punished under ten and a
half years old, and between that age and fourteen they
were punished in a less degree than in the case of
adults. According to the code of Napoleon, juvenile of-
fenders under sixteen were left to the jurisdiction of a
magistrate who was to say whether they:were actuated by
discernment, and if actuated by discernment they were
acquitted of the crime, and either sent back to their pa-
rents or sent to the House of Correction, where they
were educated and trained until they reached the age
of 21. In England, however, mere children were treated
with great cruelty, for the commission of offences which
in other countries would make them rather objects of pub-
lic sympathy and charity. From a return which had just
been laid on the table of the House, it appeared that in
1848 as many as 10,747 children had been summarily
convicted, and 3,276 sent for trial. Out of the number
undergoing imprisonment in the same year,
1,389 were under 12 years, 639 between 12
and fourteen, and 6,710 between 14 and 17 years of age.
Now if the effect of that imprisonment was to
reform the children he would not have ventured
to introduce the present Bill, but the facts
showed that nearly one-third of the whole
number had been re-committed. In 1848 the single re-
commitments were 880 ; those who had been re-
committed twice amounted to 954; three times, 458; and
four times, 675. Taking the average from 1838
to 1848 of the trials at the Middlesex Sessions, he
found that the re-commitments amounted to above
a third of the whole number. At the Pres-
ton House of Correction the re-commitments
were 56 per cent. of the persons imprisoned.
Some very interesting evidence was given upon this
subject by a gentleman to whose researches and ability
they were considerably indebted, namely, the dmomis-
sioner of the Morning Chronicle, who held a meeting of
some of the juvenile criminals in the metropolis, of whom
he found that 5 had been imprisoned twice, 3 three times,
4 four times, 2 eighteen times, 5 twenty times,
6 twenty-four times, 1 twenty-five times, and
a youth only nineteen years of age twenty-nine times.
Mr. Rushton, the magistrate, of Liverpool, also gave
them an instance of the working of the system. In the
case of three brothers, one twelve years of age, the
other nine, and the last eight, the first of whom had
been imprisoned twenty-four times, while the other two
were still undergoing a term of imprisonment, a little
attention to the subject would bring the House to the
conclusion that the existing system of treating these
offenders inert aced rather than diminished crime. They
were, in fact, brought up to thieving from their earliest
days as a profession, and they looked upon the chances of
detection just as a soldier expected a wound in battle, or
a medical man a patient; and therefore be held that
children so brought up being looked upon as responsible
to the law was a philosophical absurdity. The very
language of these offenders proved that they were
ignorant of the criminality of thieving, for the lodg-
ing-houses in which they taught their mal-practices
they called " The School," while being engaged
in thieving they called "work." It was clear
therefore, to a certain extent, they looked upon
thieving as a justifiable occupation, and the system un-
der which they were treated when detection overtook
them only served to confirm them in tb at
opinion. So long ago as 1777 Dr. Dodd described
the baneful influence of their prison treatment; and,
although they had had many amiable and philan.
thropic Secretaries of State, and persons like
Mrs. Fry, exerting themselves to mitigate the
evil, the system still continued as bad as ever.
Under the present system the prison became the home
of the adult criminals, and within its walls the juvenile
offender was initiated in the perpetration of crime by the
old offenders and in many instances parties committed
crime in order to obtain lodgings within prison walls.
He contended that it was exceedingly difficult to give
anything like a proper education or instruction to juve-
nile offenders in gaols. Mr. Shepherd, of the Wakefield
Gaol, bore his testimony to the incompatibility of im-
prisonment with education. He trusted he had now
made out a case for an alteration of the law. He might say
in addition that out of 10,747 male and female children
summarily convicted in 1848, 747 could neither read nor
write, and only 235 could read and write well. By the Bill
which he submitted to the House, he proposed that chil-
dren under 16 years of age should be dealt with summarily
by two justices or a police magistrate, without being com-
mitted to prison at all. He also proposed that no child
should receive corporal punishment above 14 years ofage.
He made those provisions because the Act cf
1847, which was a step in the same direction, had
been productive of beneficial effects, and from that
time the number of juvenile offenders had considerably
decreased, especially iu Edinburgh. His principal object
in proposing these provisions was to make summary con-
viction, where it was necessary, of a character
which would not contaminate the child's principles.
The change which he proposed was to make parents
enter into reccgnizances for the good behaviour of their
children when they were found guilty of any offence;
the parent was the person on whom punishment should
rest if the child was to be punished at all, and the alte-
ration which he suggested was not unsupported by pre-
cedent. The chaplain of Tothill-fields Prison stated,
that the great number of the parents of juvenile of-
fenders were ‘decent people, and that their chil-
dren were not unprovided with homes, but were
generally led away by bad companions. This circum-
stance showed that by making parents enter into re-
cognizanees they would be induced to exert them-
selves to reform their children and to take better
care of their morals. The Bill also provided for
the establishment of industrial schools, where juvenile
offenders might be instructed and learnt some trade or
business, and seeing the success which had attended
some experiments cf the kind in this country,
he thought there could be no valid objection to
such institutions. In France industrial schools fer
young criminals had been for some time in existence,
and they had been productive of the most beneficial re-

stilt?. he found that the reformations effected by the
Philanthropic Society, which was established in this metro-
polis for the reception of young persons convicted of crime,
was 75 per cent. There was a similar institution at
Warwiek, where the reformations effected had increased
from 45 to 65 per cent. It might be said that such in-
stitutions would give a premium to crime, by re-
lieving parents of all responsibility, but the same
objk ction would apply to the present system
of punishment, for a parent had only to
encourage his child in crime to get him transported, and
thus taken off his hands. He did nor, however, propose
to take away the stigma of a prison, for the Bill required
that a child should undergo a certain period of
solitary imprisonment, with or without flogging,
previous to entering_ a reformatory asylum.
fie felt grateful to the-House for the attention it had
given to a subject dry in its details, but impor-
tant in its results, and in expressing a hope
that this Bill would become law, he believed
that he was stating the sentiments of the greatest por-
tion of the community. He would urge on the House
the great necessity of educating those juvenile offenders.
—(Hear, hear.) It was a Christian duty de-
volving upon the House. This Bill was really
of so pacific a character that he trusted ho should have
the cordial support of Honourable Members on all
sides of the House. He believed, in conclusion, that
this question was one of unusual importance, that it
affected in a great degtes the future peace of this em-
pire, and he holed it would receive from the House the
considerevion it deserved.

Sir GEORGE GREY was not in theleast disposed
to treat with icditterence the question before the House;
nor did he think the House would be indifferent
to any practical measure on the subject.—(Hear,
hear.) The Bill now before the House contemplated

the txtemion of the summary jurisdiction possessedby

magistrates with regard to -juvenile offenilere. ThEi't
was nothing more nor less than to leavo tho law pre-
cisely as it was under the Juvenile Offenders

Act: iutroducod by his Honourable Friend the
MemLer for Droitwich (Sir John Pakiegton). The

Bill, secondly, proposed the adoption of this principle
of the criminal responsibility of parents; anti he (Sir
George Grey) was not prepared to give
~such a
latitude of power to the magistrates as VY2S CON-.

tpinphieit by that pun of the Bill. Tho third
