At tte Surrey Quarter Sessions, held at Kingston,

monger-lane, expressed an opinion that the practice
of confining prisoners closely to their room, except
during the hours of divine service and meals, on Sun-
days, was calculated to be injurious to their health;

in his report, stated that there had been a great many
cases of itch in the gaol, and the great majority of
them were persons who had come from union work-
houses.

of Hanover. In her defence, she stated that the arti-
cleetad been given her sister, who was a servant at
the Palace. .!The sister stated that she had certainly
given her jellies and pastry in the cups and plates, to
take home, but that she had always intended the pri-
soner should return them. It appeared that the sis-
ters both bore excellent characters, and had been fill-
ing situations of great trust, and the housekeeper of
the Palace having stated that she did not believe the
articles had been taken with any felonious intent, as
when the King was last in town the hospitality ob-
served was such as to cause the superfluities to be
given to the servants, which might account for the
dessert plate, it being of* value, as there were only
three remaining of thuet. ~. The magistrate ordered
the prisoner to be discharged.
