The Hon. Gentle-, ui (Mr. tioifi.:d) not
.se to censure the Cite : the cbj,.et of his ni_.‘ei• n
o procure something more useful than censuie—
ss. Ho hoped he would not suffer himself to
it off with flue
pledges, which (withont meaning
disrespect to any peas n whatever) might,
gh various circumstances, like many former
es be never redeemed. He moreover trusted
fold not stop in his course for the assurances I e
t receive of the good which this conversation
d of itself effect. The City, which conceived
so competent to redress, had not always caused
ders to be attended to. In proof of this, he read
• esolutions of the Court of Common Council,
h were passed in 1810, but which had never
attended to. One of these ordered that the
is fees should be abolished ; the other, that lu-
s should not be confined in Newgate. They
told to wait till the new jail was finished,
that would do away all cause of complaint.
ld that remove all the evils which had been de-
. to that House ? Would that, for instance, cure
rdinary who had (he would not say in the its.
e of his duty) deported himself so improperly
e the Committee ? A more indecent exhibition
total want of feeling, of disregard for common
rum, he had never witnessed. His conduct had
nut only unbecoming a man holding the situa.
he filled, but such
,as was not to be expected
a man pretending to have any regard for mo-
y. The evidence he had given when examined
more like the imprudent boastings of a profligate
on, than the repries of a Clergyman to questions
by a Committee of that House. If the City were
.mpetent to redress the evils to which the atten-
of the House had been drawn, ought not the
onduct of this man to have been known to them
to have been checked ? He (the Ordinary),
n interrogated on the subject of his conduct, had
rred the Committee to his instructions. He refer-
to his instructions to defend his misconduct !'—
io:e instructions he was particularly charged to
nd to the table, but his instructions were not so
t in other respects. He was asked "Do you
er make a report on the state of morals in the
on ?" His answer was, "No ; I know nothing
be morals of the prison." When he was asked
he were not called upon to give religious admo-
ens to persons confined in the prison who were
?"—his answer was..." No; I never hear of • *
ions being sick till I em called upon to at-
. their funeral." Must they wait for 'the
pletion of the new prison before any thing
ld be done with respect to this man ?—(Hear.)
y was not something done before ? This man had
nl6 years in their service. The manner in which
ad given his evidence proved that that conduct,
ich to him appeared to be so culpable, was no tem-
ry lapse, but resulted from hardened depravity
ind, and habitual neglect of duty. Yet the City
overlooked for years the conduct of this man,
•, instead of being a corrector of the morals of
se confined in Newgate, would probably be found
ake them more depraved. He hoped the Hon.
ntleman would persist in his motion, and that thc
I would be brought in.
it W. CURTIS said, the conduct of the Ordi-
of Newgate had never been brought before the 1114 ea
y, as it had now been brought before the House.
s deportment before the Committee merited severe
rehension.
fter a few words from Mr. Alderman C. SMITH
• Sir J. &taw in explanation ; and from Mr. H.
MIN TON in support of the motion, leave was given

HIGHWAY AND ROADS BILL.
On the motion of Mr. BYNG, for considering the
endments made by the Lords in this Bill,
he SPEAKER said he must inform the House,
t the Lords had made an amendment respecting
receipt of money for tolls, with which, as it was
their province to interfere, the Bill became inva-
ated. It would therefore be necessary to move,
• t the Bill be further considered this day three
'nth% and leave might be given to bring in a new
1 on the subject. This was accordingly moved
, and agreed to.

APPRENTICE BILL.
Mr. St. PAUL brought up the Report of the Ap•
ntice Bill.
Mr. P. MOORE enquired why the Bill, with its
ent amendments, had not been printed as ordered
the House ? It had been ordered to be printed on
7th of June.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW thought such an order
d not been made.
On reference to the Journals the Order could not
