PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

" The Oeveeth Report of the Committee of the Sodety for the Im-
provement of Prison Discipline, and for the Reformation of
Juvenile °lenders.
BEDFORDSHIRL • .
• lIRDPORD......COUNTY PRISONS, JULY, 1826.
Since the publication of the Society's last Report, a
separate ward, containing a day room, two commodious
toed rooms, and an airing-yard, has been added to the
debtors' compartment of the gaol, for the separate con-',
finvment of fens Ale prisoners of this description. , A
turnkey and an under matron have been appointed.
New rules and regulations, for the management and
. discipline of the county prisons (founded on the Acts
of 4 Geo. of IV. cap. 64, and .5 Geo. IV. cap 8.5) have
been printed ; and copies are placed in the wards or
day-rooms of each prison.
One division only of the gaol, containing male pri-
soners for, hial on charges of felony,.acc. is under in-
s crion, and that from a room which is used by the go-
a oor's family:Buta walk or passage-way surrounds the
several yards or airing grounds;_'
and in going round
'km the officers tan observe the conduct of the pri-
soners in the yards. The officers, however, cannot see
from thence into the day rooms. •
' No means of einplaymens are provided for prisoners
before trial who may be willing to work.
The prisoners receive frequent ricks from the chap:
lain. They attend at prayers daily. and read select
portions of the scriptures. They also receive instruction
In reading and writing, tinder the direction of the chap.
lain ; and they have the use of religious, moral, and
' iastructiye books, font the lending library established
in the gaol. .
The present classification of the gaol departments is
as follows:

Isle clebton and passim for contempt et court so civil
process.
bliale cerricesi wagoners.
Males coquagittai for trials

Tenor debtors.
romales Oesuoittod for trial.

These classes of prisoners occupy five day rooms,
and five separate airing yards.
No alteration has taken place in the old house of
cNrrectiron, which is pert of the larger prison, or county
r(already described) since the description given of
ill a former Report. The principal ward, cohtaining
Made convicti sentenced to hard labour. is under in-
spection from the room usually occupied by the keeper's
fsmil y.

The prisoners consist of two classes of male convicts,
and one class of female convicts, having separate yards
and day rooms. _ _

The female convicts are employed in making, mend-
. ing, and washing the prison clothes. Sofficient /abour
is found for them in this department; and no female
ihisoner has ever been set to work at the tread-wheel.
,orsrank-handled mill. No male convict is set to work
net the tread-wheel, except his sentence includes 4, hard
labour" in addition to imprisonment. The male convicts
ire employed at grinding corn and dressing meal by
.the tread-wheel, and also by a crank-handled mill;
and when at work they are under inspection from the
keeper's room.
in summer, the prisoners work nine hours per day ;
in the spring eight hours ; and in winter six hours. One
Man descends from the wheel every three minutes, when
another goes up to supply his place. The diaMeter of
the wheel is five feet four inches, and the distance
between each step-board is eight inches.
The general health of the prisoners is stated to have
been improved since the intsoduction of this description
of labou►, which has also essentially contributed to the
support of discipline and good order.
Thy greatest number of persons in confinement at
any one time during the last year in the gaol and old
house of correction was 82. The total number com-
nsitted during the year was 504;•
This prison contains 50 separate sleeping cells.
CMLNITINTIART OR NM/ noun CT COMMOTION.
Dining the last year new buildings for the residence
et the turnkey and miller, a receiving-room, lazaretto
ward, store rborn-for clothing, and rooms for the con-,
victs to shelter themselves in from wet or cold, during
the intervals of rest from the tread-wheel labour, have
been finished, and are now in use. No alteration has
been made in the classification of the prisoners. The
female prisoners are employed as in the old hoese.of
correction. The male prisoners work at the treadmill,
and at the crank-handled mill fot grinding can. The
latter is used by such prisoners as the surgeon may i
deem unfit for the labour of the tread-mill.
There are three separate tread.wheels, and the prison-
ers work under inspection from the governor's room.
The diameter of the wheels is five feet, and the distance
from step to step is 71 inches. The prisoners work
two-thirds ow, and one-third off for relays. The hours
sr labour are nine in summer and six in winter. The,

_ _ time in the year
whole number committed during the- year" was 169.
Eleven se committals took place in the satisiperiksL-1
irons are only used when prisoners have-bees shalaaM6
in attempts to escape; the use of them has rarely bea
resorted to, elcept in the intervals between sentence of
death being passed on prisoners and their receiving the
commuted sentence.

There is no County fond or institution for the relief
of prisoners disebtrged destitute; but travelling passes.
and Inuit sums to pay their expenses to the verge
'of tbe county, are given to them when they are dis.
charged.
Criivr dolls not appear to be much on the decrease
in this, ixittttly ; and the fact is attributed to the demo-,
taliiing effects of the game laws. Preserves for game'
ere very numerous, and. husbandry wages are extremely
low; thus the temptation to poaching is very strong.
Setting saves by day is succeeded by armed poachipg
at night, and followed up by robbing heo•roo.ts, pigeon
stealing (to supply shooting matches}, sheep stealing,
and horse stealing. Instances are perpetually occurring
of this description, in the commencement and regtilas
progress of crime.

It is satisfactory to state that, in cogformity with the
provisions of the late Gaol Act, a permanent arrange-
11lent has been made between the Justices of the county
and those of the town and borough, for sending all
offenders committed within the local jurisdiction to the
county gaol and house of correction ; and a contract
has been entered into for the maintenance, ciaihiat,
and medical care of such prisoners.
In consequence of this arrangement (which has been
sanctioned by the Secretary of State), the towp gaol has
been pulled down; and a lock-up,house has been erect-
ed in a central situation, for the tensporaty confinement
Only of disorderly persons apprehended 'during the,
night in the streets of the town. Prisoners committed
from the local jurisdiction, now have the advantage of
proper classification and discipline, exercise, and religi.
ous and moral instruction, fir which there.was no re-
gular provision made in the old gaol belonging to the
town.

In the county lunatic asylum, in which prisoners are
confined in separate wards, a third yard and set of cells
are to be added for male canvalments, and a similar
department for female convalescents. It is intended to
warm the lower galleries and cells with hot air stoves.

We received this morniag the Algenseine Zeitsog
to the sth inst. containing the substance of mercantile
letters from the Turkish capital to the 11 th oh. No
change in the policy of the Porte, with respect to the
single object which occupied its attention at that
period, had then transpired; and this circumstance
ought not to excite any astonishment, as it had received
no official copy of the Tieaty. The English Am-
bassador, being alone. in possession of this important
doeament, could ' not regularly present it. as every di.
ilomatic tyro must be aware ; and therefore the nume-
rous specolationi that have been set afloat, respecting the
decision of the Porte, are as unseasonable as they are rash.
In the mean time,the measures of the Turkish Govern-
ment,which marked no additional vigour,did not indicate
an unfavourable issue; and the only instance it gave of its
apprehensions being awakened, was an order to place
the castles at the entrance of the Dardanelles in a better
state of defence.

In the mean time, tbenews of the Treaty having been
concluded had excited the greatest joy throughout the
Greek islands, where it was regarded as a certain
pledge that the termination of their calamities was rapidly
approaching. At Eyre, the intelligence was commtmi-
cased by the Commander of the English squadron ;
and though the inhabitants, on account of religious
prejudices, bad been cold spectators of the generous
struggle in which the rest of their countrymen had been.
