IMPROVEMERT Olf PRISON

The Committee of the Society for the Itrproyeinent
of Prison Discipline, and for the Reformation of 4111Ve.•
Offenders, have just published their Seventh Re-
port, with an Appendix. The Report extends to 144
pages, and the 'Appendix and Supplement to 411. The
former is a very able and valuable Discourse, to whieh
we refer with great satisfaction, as containing some ex-
(vilest observations on the present state of the Criminal
Law and Prison Discipline in Raglan's,.
It is observed, towards the conclusion of the Report,
that " it is the pride of England that she can refer to a
long line of Jurists and Philosophers, from the Mos.
trious Sir T, Moore, the first advocate for mercy in ;
cruel age, to the lamented Romilly, the greatest legal
marmot of our own, who have thus instructed and
adorned mankind, enlightened the darkness of the past,
and dispelled the prejudices of modern times." We
should rather be supposed to say, that it is to the dis-
grace of England, that the apathy and opaque
.preju-
dices of her sons should have yielded so little to the
'appeals of her long hue bf eirrettated 'Jurists, Mtn her
Criminal Law is yet aMong the most barbarous in
Europe, and her system of criminal procedure so ab-
surd as to be the jest of Europe. "Uto no object (as
the Committee express themselves) can the random of
the Legislature, and the power of public opinion, be
mote beneficially directed than to the reform of the
Criminal Laws and Institutions of the country"--.and
if " of law it may, indeed, with truth, be said, that her
voice is the harmony of the world; all things, in Hen-
' yen and on earth, do her homage; the very least as
feeling her care, and the greatest as not exempt from
'her power"—is it not singular that this paramount eta-
Oct should be still in such a backwatd state in this
;country ? The Committee observe, in esplanation, that
vast and immeasurable as is its importance, the ame-
lioration of jurisprudence has been hitherto but say
little indebted to the arm of power. Unhappily for that
interests of mankind, nations have bees absorbed in
extending the boundaries of dominion, and is, the goes-
tionable objects of political ambition; ar.d to these sic-
lions of fahe glory have been often sacrificed the arts cf
Government, and the welfare and happiness of social life."
"It may well merit consideration," say the Conazik-
tee, " whether certain parts of the judicial procedure, _
which has been for ages established in this country, is
the committal of persons for trial, be not open to ob-
jection, and calculated to increase rather than diminish
the commission of crime. The nature and amount of
punishment is wisely decided by-the law alone. If it
be right to take from the aggrieved the power of ap.
portioning the penalty, it is not less so to prevent him
from determining whether punishment of any kind shall
be inflicted. This power the law of England gives to
the injured party, by imposing, on him the burden of
enforcing its penalties. Thar proceeding, a is well
*sows, involves both trouble and expense. Deposio
dons are taken before a Justice of the Peace, and on hie
decision alone it depends, whether the accused be at
once discharged, held to bail, or committed to prison
till the day of trial. But although the law rests this
discretionary power in the Magistrate, he is not required
to belong to the legal profession to be competent to
the analysis of evidence, or to possess that description of
knowledge which is often indispensable to thediscovay
of innocence, and the detection of guilt. Should the
imputed offence not be bailable,or should the party not
be able to obtain bail, he is detained in the gaol until
the nest Assizes or Quarter Sessions; when, after an
imprisonment, perhaps, for several month, the pro- ,
priety of putting him on his trial is at length determined
by a Grand Jury. No evidence, however, is then
received on his behalf, and he is, consequently, often
seat to the Bar of Justice, when the hearing of his
defence would have procured his immediate chschaege;
a fact placed beyond question, by the numbers even-
tually acquitted by the Petit Jury. If the n knesses be not
in readiness, the risoner is liable, under certain eh coon;
stances, to be confined until the following gaol delivery.
" It is obvious, then, that the law chtrfly depends
for its execution on the will of the aggrieved. TM*
ground of reliance is neither favourable to morals, nor
honourable to legislation. It is frequently the occasion
of injustice to the accused, while it fails to afford ade-
quate protection to the public. li the prosecutor act upon
the strength of his feelings, they are apt to magnify his
injuries and inflame liss pat:ions. In a moment of anger, a
man is charged with an offence, committed to prison, and
after a long confinement discharged, because the pro-
secutor has overrated the importance of his evidence ;
or, because his resentment having subsided, he declines
to prosecute. Thus, should be relent, and be willing
to forfeit his recognizsnces, a criminal may escape, and
the justice of the country be set at nought. This di:-
position is considerably strengthened by the delay and
expense to which a prosecutor is subject, which present
to him strong temptations to compromise the interests
of justice for the restitution of his property. If the great
end of criminal judicature be the prevention of crime
at the least cost of personal suffering, the superiority
of the Scottish over the English system of procedari,
in the trial of ordinary offences, will be at once mani-
fest. This superiority consists in the immediate relief
which is afforded to the prisoner, who has in England
to await the decision of a Grand Jury. In the years
1821, 1822, and 1823, the average number of per-
sons annually tried in England amounted to 10,843;
and the average number discharged by the Grand Jury
was 1,696. In the same years there were transmitted
to Edinburgh, for the opinion of Crown Counsel, 1,768
cases, of whom 385 were immediately liberated. Than,
in England, two out of fourteen were saved the dis•
grace of a public trial by the Grand Jury,. after an
average of three months' imprisonment; while in Scot-
land, two out of eleven were immediately liberated.
But in Scotland, an additional number of 413 casts
were referred back for immediate trial, and these indi-
viduals also escaped the further punishment of impri-
sonment before trial. The benefit of the legal judgment
of a public prosecutor, may be further estimated by the
fact, that in England the acquittah are to the convictions
as two to seven, while in Scotland they are as one to
seven; a difference that can only arise from the Grand
Jury sending to trial double the number, or twice as
many cases of defective evidence, at would have been
seat by the public prosecutor."

The following extract is from " Van illelen's Narra-
tive," a work which we have recently noticed in our
columns. Van Halen describes his treatment after
examination, and a few days preceding his being con-
ducted to the chamber of torture;
The excessive agitation of my mind, and the thirst which tor.
mented me during the whole of that night, and which I was unable
to quench, owing to the seemingly intentional neglect of the jailers
in leaving the jug empty, which was usually filled with water, pre.
vented thy taking a moment's repose.
My humour, soured by the treatment I received, showed itself
to those by whom I was guarded, and did not fail to bring back
upon me their displeasure, whisk they had the power to make me
feel in a thousand different ways. Don Marcelino, who, as I have
already observed, was less fit to exercise the violences belonging to
his dike than his companion, did not come so frequently bra the
followlos tier as be ►ad bcca in the habit of doing; so thee I was
obliged to endure the presence of Don Juanita, ewe during any
dingier, which be contrived to render as unpleasant to me as had
been the sitting of the preceding night. Wearied of hearing so
many insolent remarks, I desired him to bold his peace ; but this
had a contrary effect to what I expected. Assuming more than
ever an air of ►umility, be said with his usual feminine voice,
which, coming from 11 tall and corpulent man, nude him appear
very ridiculous, " He will gain nothing here who behaves ill to us :
we have a remedy for every disease. f recollect that when I was
still a boy, and the father-in-law of Don Marcelino, the chief jailer,
there was a French jeweller confined in these prisons, who was a
most pertinacious heretic. He took it into his head to deny every
thing to the Holy Tribunal, and to behave uncivilly to the jailers;
and finally refused to take any food or see any one. One day,
oleo his dungeon was to be cleaned,and himself removed to another,
the jailer, on opening the gates, found him armed with a log of
wood, which he had torn from the side of the bed, and with which
be threatened to knock him down, if be attempted to enter. Per-
haps, you imagine," he added, with a satisfied air, "that that
gebusho had his own way, and was left there to die, cursing like a
renegade, and without confessing his crime? Not so, indeed; the
jailer locked the doors without attempting to disarm him, and in-
formed the fiscal of it, who, immediately caused six soldiers to cone
from the square of Santo Doningo, close by, where a corps di saris
was stationed ; and first administering to them the oath of secrecy,
ordered them to the dungeon of the heretic to ware him. The
first of the soldiers who went in was knocked down by the French-
man ; but Dun Marcelino's father-in-law, who was a man of un-
common resolution and resources, suddenly armed the soldiers with
lighted torches, which proved more useful than their bayonets or
any other weapon. No sooner these men commenced dabbing hie
(ace with the lights than that son of Lucifer remained a moment
stupified, and the next was rolling on the gr00..,d. No resistance
after that ; he waa as quiet as a lamb, whilst a strong pair of fetters
and another pair of 'moults prevented his skewing his tricks again,
though at last he died of despair, without manifesting the least
contrition; so great was the inflames which the devil exerted over
his soul"

when Me companion remained alone with me, I could not refrain
from exclaiming, " Would to Goa I could one day see this place
reduced to ashes !" At these weeds he fixed his eyes on me, but
remained silent, and his silence was that of an honest man; for
never did the Inquisitors express a knowledge of my imprudent
