inaudible in the gallery.

• Mr. Aldeintan Woon knew that the plan of the
utuitiotter had been adopted with success in one of
the Houses of Correction in the City Of Lontjon.
As far as the expetiments had gone they met with
the approbation of the Magistrates. The ques-
tion arising on this petition would, he thought,
be comprehended in !he motion to be brought

submit it to the consideration of the Honourable
Gentleman, whether it would not be as well to let
this motion stand over till that of the Honottriable
Baronet's had been decided, in order to avoid
buttleuing the House with too many Committees.

pl,n, and would call the attention of the lionse
to the advantages that might be expected to result
