had Wen coined, and that of this sons 4,200,000 had
been issued from the Mint to the Bank.
The motion as amended by the CiIAXCELLOR
the EXCHEQVER was carried. . _ .

Mr. AIfRUTHNOT next moved the following
grants to be applied in further execution of an Act
of the 43d of his present Majesty, cap. 80, towards
making Roads and building Bridges in the High-
lands of Scotland, for the year 1818 - £20,000
Towards defraying the expense of the building of a
Penitentiary linos. at Milbank, for doe year 1818 3C00,000
On the latter Resolution being put, .
Mr. GORDON wished the House to be aware of
the manner in which the public money was to be ex-
pended on this establishment. He understood that
some of the towers had already fallen, and that the
grant now made was in pan called for to rebuild them.
Mr. LOCKHART said he would oppose this Re-
solution. The Penitentiary Houses did not strike at
the root of the evil. They might amend the indivi-
'duals confined, but it had been seen they did not
tent the increase of crime. It was not in this way
sums should be expended. They should-rather
apply themselves to form a vignrouS alad adive police
that might prevent the increase of chine.
Mr. LONG thought 'the objection of-the4lonoura-
ble Gentleman, if at all valid, ought ro have been
urged before the plan for erecting Penitentiary
Houses had been adopted by Parliament. To him
it appeared the establishment at Milbank was likely
to answer the purpose for which it was erected. It
was certainly true that some of the towers had fallen,
but it was to be remembered that those who built the
klbenitentiary had not the choice of the spot on which
it should be erected. The ground was such, that at
first it had been thought of building it on piles, but
this design had been abandoned. The towers which
had fallen had formed a very small part of the edi-
fice, and measures had been adopted to guard against
a similar occurrence, which appeared to be corn.
