The Court broke up about three o'clock.

In answer to a question put by Mr. LAURIE,
The GOVERNOR replied that the silent system had
been in operation in the House of Correction between
seven and eight years, and that he had not had a single
case of insanity arising from its adoption.--(Hear.)
Mr. LAURIE thought that the Court would most
readily concur in the motion of the Hon. and Learned
Magistrate. The present was a period when the
public were particularly alive to the sanatory condi-
tion of the people—(llear)—and the statements con-
tained in the Report would be hailed by all parties.—
(llear.) Statements of a similar nature, if he re-
membered rightly, had been made by the Visiting
Justices of the Westminster New Bridewell—(i lear)
—and he was happy to add that the same satisfactory
results had come to pats in the Cit of Landon.--
(Hear, (Hear, hear.) Indeed, he found, on a
the reports of the Inspectors of Prisons, that a vast
improvement had taken place n i
notuhnetryhe;alfothri,noeusst
within prisons in most parts of the
of 81,000 persons who had been committed in execu-
tion of their sentences, there lud been but 246 cases
of illnesS, being something less than one quarter per
cent. in one vear. With these facts before
there could be no doubt but that throughout ughoutEngland_
there was a greater state of health withinthan out of
the prisons. The system of separation they had not
adopted.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to that
system, it had come to his knowledge that the King
of Prussia had sent out an agent to Philadelphia to
inquire into its working in that country ; and that
gentleman, after having examined most minutely into
the results of its operation, had made a Report
wherein he had reprobrated the plan in the strongest
terms.—(Hear, hear.) But it was not necessary that
they should go so far as America to prove the cruelty
and impolicy of that system. The system of separa-
tion had been introduced into the Penitentiary at
Millbank, about six years ago, and he held in his
hand a return of the number of prisoners who had
been sent to Bethlehem Hospital from that prison in
an insane state during the six years preceding the in-
troduction of the solitary system, from which he
found that during that period there had been seven
cases; whilst in the six years of its operation the
number of victims had amounted to twenty-seven.—
(Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt as to the ac-
curacy of this statement, because the return he had
read from was that of the steward of Bethlehem Hos-
pital, made under the Act of Parliament. This, then,
was an increase of something like 400 per cent. They
could not, he lamented to say, take up a paper with-
out meeting with some wretched instance of the pain-
ful consequences of the system ; and only yesterday
he had seen that the varlet Bean was now suffering
alarmingly from its effects. It was indeed frightful.
It was a matter of surprise to him that the Coroner
for Westminster, and the juries who sat onss inquests
e for
taken in the Penitentiary, should go on case afeetrs
God"—(Hear, hear)—when it n
case returning verdicts of " Died by the visitationts of

dlesex Hospital, before Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P.,
the Coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Joseph

ing manner :—On the evening of 6th of September
last deceased was standing at the corner of Wells-

down by a run• away cab horse. He was raised up in
a state of insensibility, and brought to this hospital,
where it was ascertained that in addition to several
very severe bodily contusions, he had sustained an ex-
tensive wound on the back part of the right thigh.
He was treated accordingly, and was going on im-
provingly,. until within a few days since, when ery
sipelas, originating in the wound, came on, and he
gradually sunk, and expired on the 12th inst. INTO
blame is attached to the driver of the cab. -tie to the
time of the accident, the deceased had been in a re-
markably good state of health for his advancsd years.
Verdict, " Accidental death."
