MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MA-
GISTRATES.
On Thursday a numerous meeting of the magistrates of the
county of Middlesex was held at the Sessions-house, Clerken-
well-green, for the dispatch of county business.
Henry Pownall, Esq., was unanimously re-elected Chair-
man of the Court for the ensuing twelve months.
The Deputy Clerk of the Peace laid before the Court cer-
tain Bills now before Parliament affecting the interests of the
county. Among them was one relative to
THE REMOVAL OF PAUPERS.
Mr. WILES, in allusion to this Bill, said, that at this ad-
vanced period of the session, when Bills were passed at the
rate of a dozen an hour, he wished to call the attention of
the Court to its nature and object. It provided that those
parishes the population of which did not exceed 30,000 should
be exempted from the expense attendant upon the removal of
Paupers to Ireland and the Islands of Guernsey and Jer-
sey, and affixed that charge Upon the county rate. He con-
sidered that an act of gross injustice towards the large parishes.
Again, the Act gave, the Poor-law Commissioners the power
to direct the proceedings to be taken in all appeals against
orders of removal, which appeals are in future to he carried on
by their own solicitor and under their directions, although all
costs, charges, &c., are to be defrayed out of the county rate.
The Bill had been brought into Parliament by the Home-office,
and nowstood for a second reading.
Sir B. HALL said he thought it was incumbent upon the
Court to communicate with the Home-office upon the subject,
and point out the difficulties that would arise if the Bill were
passed in its present shape.
After a brief discussion, the matter was referred to the Par-
liamentary Committee, with instructions to take such steps
thereupon as they might deem necessary.
THE HANWELI LUNATIC ASYLUM.
The report of the visiting justices of the above asylum was
read, and after a reference to the non-restrrint system
adopted there, the report proceeded to state that it was with
very great reluctance the visiting justices felt themselves
called upon to notice in terms of disapproval many of the
clauses in the Bill now before Parliament for the future re-
gulation of county lunatic asylums, and the case of pauper lu-
natics generally. he report proceeded to point out several
clauses, which, :in the opinion of the visiting justices, were
highly oljectionable, as far as they applied to the management
of the County Lunatic Asylum at Hanwell, and more particu-
larly to the power with which it was proposed to invest the
Commissioners of Lunacy.
