.was too olyiimis to require any additional argument
or( his part in favour of Guildhall; The worthy Al-
devman declined, further' occupying the Attention of
the Mouse than merely to move for leave to.prebint
the Petition.
• Mr. Alderman, WAITHMAN obseived, that

of London. But as it was in contemplation icimake

but-fair clothe part of the Commissioners-to wait till
that Bill should come before the House. _
Mr. WitOTTESLEY thought that a Selea

meetings, if deemed requisite—but at all events that
no.reme;al should-take.place without fair and pro-

The Petition was then received, read, ordered to

to the Prince, Regent, praying that his Royal High-

would be graciously pleased to give directions
for laying before the House an Account of all claims

claims, or territorial claims, &c.—Ordered. and that
such Members of the House as were of his Royal

PRISONERS FOR FELONY IN VARIOUS JAILS.
Mr. WESTERN, previous to submitting another
humble Address . to the Prince Regent, thought it
necessary to explain his motives. Many unfortu-
nate men, some of whom might be found perfectly
innocent of the charges made against them, suffered
shockingly from the Law's delay. The Honourable
Member, in order to suggest some amendments of'
the law or usage, wished to have the House fur-
nished with an Account of the number of Prisoners
confined for Felony in the various Jails at the diffe•
rent periods about to be mentioned. He had ob-
tained Returns from the Counties of Suffolk, Sussex,
I and Kent. As soon as he had received the informa-
tion which he desired,' the Honourable Member
stated, that he meant to submit to the House a mo-
tion indicative of some specific object. The grievances
of which he complained would be readily admitted,
when he informed the House, that -out of 13,000

wege referred to the Bank Committee. .
The Report of the Inspector-General respeeting the state of
Sills in Ireland, was, on the motion of Earl BEAUCHAMP,
referred to their Lordships Committee on the State of Prisons.
Lord HOLLAND recalled their Lordshipb' recollection to
the Petition which he had offered to their notice on a recent
evening, which related to a Private or Local Bill ;• a Bill of the r
nature to which he referred, relating to a Court of Justice, being
held to be one of a Private or Local nature. lie had, however,
on inquiry since intind, that it was the usage, indeed of both
Houses of Parliament, to receive Petitions against Bills of the
kind, which are not actually before Parliament.' Ile had the
highest respect - for established usage, and this he found to be
against receiving such Petitions as he had presented,theugh he
'idle? thOught the rule was deviated from since the Union with
. I ; and he rather thought it, in many eases, a hard ma-
ii
- that Petitioners should not be heard until the dreaded Bill, ;ind
shau d be actually before the House. Tie should Iseg liave to
Withdraw the Petition for the present; but in case a Bill of the
nature to which it referred should come before their Lordships,
ha would again offer it to their notice.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was clearly contrary to
the practice of the House to receive Petitions in such a case as
that in question. And with respect to the subject to which the
Petition referred, he was of opinion, that, in effect, these Minor
Cowls for the recovery of Small Debts, which were supposed to
afford so much relief, and operate so beneficially, were really
productive, upon the whole, of much mischief, without afford-
ing that relief for which they were designed. On that principle,
no Bill of the kind should have his support,
Clithcroe's Divorce Bill was read the third time and passed.
Lord HOLLAND stated, that he had, in pursuance of the
request of a Noble Friend (the Earl of Donoughmore), to give
notice of his intention to bring forward a motion relative to the
Petitions of the Roman Catholics of Ireland. Some time, he
was aware, previous notice, should he given, when that the mo-
tion respected a subject of such consequence to the empire at
large. After consulting with several of his friends, the Noble
[
Earl for whom he appeared had fixed upon the 4th of May as a
I proper day for the purpose. lie should therefore move that the
Lords be summoned for that day, meaning it as a general sum-
; mons, without annexing to the Order (as generally required) the
subject to which the intended motion related, as poisibly his
Noble Friend hereafter may feel some occasion to propose a dif-

Mr. HUDSON in the Chair,
The Minutes of the General Meeting held on the 25th February
last, having been confirmed, and the Report of the Sub-611unit-
tee appointed at that Meeting having been read,
It was Resolved, That the Report of the Sub-Committee
now read be approved of by this Meeting.
That from the recent alterations and improvements made in
the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, and others still in con-
templation, and from the great number or Carts atter.ding the
said Market, frequently compelling the drivers to place them in
the adjoining streets, it has become highly important not only
for the inhabitants of the Market and its vicinity, but also for
the public at large, that the same should be removed to some
part where the public thoroughfare would not be obstructed.
That this Meeting consider the place suggested by the Sub.
Comilliune, lying to the East of the Regent's Park at the top
of Portland Road, having communications from the New Road

and the road leading to Hampstead and Highgate, and having
a Cut leading to it from the Regent's Canal, with a commodious
basin and free wharfage, in ever; respect eligible fur the forma-

. . _
Lion of a 'Market for Hay and Straw, and at th: same time the
most convenient part to which the present Iliaiket can be
removed.
That the Petitions now produced and read for the removal of
the Haymarket be approved of, and forthwith presented to the
House of Commons.

That Sir Francis Burdett, Batt. be requested to present the
said Petitions, and to support the same.
That the Hon. George Lamb be requested to support the said
Petitions.

That a Subscription for defraying the expenses necessary to be
incurred, be immediately entered into. •
That the Gentlemen forming the Sub-Committee be requested
to continue their services as a Committee, with power to add
to their number, and to adopt all such measures as they may
think proper, to carry the•object of this Meeting into effect ; and
that any three of them be competent to act.

Mr. Alderman WOOD, 'before he presented a Pe-
tition which be now held in his hands, against the
proposition for the removal of the place of meetings
,in cases of bankruptcies from Guildhall, begged leave
to offer some observations illustrative of the subject.
;The Petition, as the worthy Alderman mentioned,
was from the Bankers and Merchants of London, a
most respectable description of men, praying that the
Bankruptcy Meetings might not be removed from
Guildhall, London, the present place of meeting, and
where they had been accustomed to attend for time
almost immemorial. Notice had some time ago been
given by the Commissioners, that they intended to
apply to Parli'ament for the removal Of the meetings

The Chairman having left the Chair, it was unanimously Re-

prisoners, confined by the Returns of the various
Jails for one year, 2,000 had not been prosecuted;
and that there were also of the former number 2,600
against whom no bills had been found. Most of
these had been confined many months without hav-
ing been brought to trial ; some of them three, some
four, some five, and some 15 or 18 months, sub-
jected to the greatest hardships. But the physical
operations, although undoubtedly severe, were not
to he compared with the extent of their mental ope-
rations. The morals of such prisoners as at first
might be somewhat more pure, became by common
intercourse at last nearly as corrupt as those of their
most abandoned fellow-prisoners. The progress of
a corruption of morals, in such a lamentable State
of society, was rapid and certain. Some prisoners,
on the commencement of their incarceration, might
be under the influence of shame and remorse ler
their violations el the laws; but, after they had re-
mained some months confined -with their new asso-
ciates, they soon forgot their more virtuous inclina-
tions, and became its wicked and abandoned as the
worst of their fellow-prisoners. In this alarming
state of the corruption of morals, it was cruelty in
the extreme to suffer prisoners to remain so long in
confinement without being brought to trial. Some
men might at first look upon their imprisonment
with contrition and even horror. Their minds at
last became hardened, and they began to bury in
oblivion a return to virtuous pursuits. The prompt
execution of the law, by bringing them to a speedy
trial, would prevent these lamentable consequences.
After these unhappy fellow-creatures had for months
been inured to mal-practices by their flagitious asso-
ciates, they were at last fairly trained, and com-
pletely hardened to their fate. If they had in con-
templation a more frequent Jail Delivery, the object
now recommenckd would in a great degree be an-
swered. But he had no doubt the Committee now
sitting on the State of Imprisonments and Jails,
.would comprehend this amelioration of the system
in the scope of their inquiries. The Honourable
Member then concluded in substance, that an humble
Address be presented to his Royal Highness the
Prince Regent, praying that I►is Royal Highness
would be graciously pleased to give directions, that
there be laid before the House an Account of the
Number of Pi isoners in the various Jails of England
and Vales, committed for trial on the first of Oc-
tober lad ; also a similar Account of the Number
committed and remaining for trial on the first of
January last ; with their namet, ages, and dates of
their respective commitments, arranging properly
their crimes; and also•an Account.of the Numbers,
Names, Ages, Svc. discharged by Proclamation.
Ordered ;. and that such ,Members of the House as
.were of theoPrince Regent's Privy Council, should
wait on his Royal Highness with the same.
