MR. PEEL'S LETTER To TIM LORD` 1M '
The following is a copy of the Secant of State's
Letter, which . was read. by the Lord Mayor' at the
Court of Alderaleo, on Tuesday last:

Matteis'', aim 5, 11126.
" Ivls Lots--I have•reteived•frocn the Towa,clerk otlire
of London the G(nerat Report Of the. Court of Alderesen fee the
year ending at Michaelmas last, rapectloc the seieraEgaOls,and
• - •
Prhons sonata' their superintendence. . •
" Them are two parts of this Report to which I would request
your Lordship's attention. In age part is is stated, I.That the
enteral prisoners axe treated, as far as practicable, agreeably to the
'Odes and regulwions of the Act (4 Geo. IV. cap. 64). the keepers
firadieber officers being directed to comply witibthe sithie, as far
sal the circumstances connected with the prisons will'admit./ In
sissotber pan of the same Reportl find it ;totted, s That.clasalka-
ties; has been ob4erved in Netegate,. as larm the amweisctiOS and
extent of the gaol will admit; but a feW prisoners cone iiteil of
misdemeanour in the Coen of King'sbencli'- sodas the Oaken
well Seasons, awing to.tke want of another yard, eferwlll -obliged
to mix with felons in the bore yard,' ...• • • - .
" From these statements I conclude, that the
,Gaol.of Nenee
is, in respect of arrangement and construction, witifiketlie, at not
to allow of the Carrying. into effect the illtilereif4 &siltation. lire-
scribed by the-Legislature... . : • •• • .•- ••'
" Your Lordship well :knOws that the provision* of thmoaol
Act, coot enieg the treatment` and classification of prime/Is, are.
imperative, and that the Legislature has laid down. malts spe-
cific rules and regulations, which are to be saltily tobserval in
all the Gaels to Which the Ace extends, of which Gaols that of
Newgate is one. . •
" I am persuaded I need not attempt to impress upon your Lord-
ship's mind the great importance of these provisions of the Legisla-
ture, with a view to the morals of the prisoners, and fax ensuring
the proper measure of punishment ; nor need I point out the aka.
lute necessity of carrying them into effect in the gaols wide, the
superintendence of the Court of Aldermen, and more especially in
the gaol of Newgate.
" I request your Lordship to take an --early opportenltY of
calling the attention of the Court of Aldermen to this abject, and
beg to be informed of the measures which they propose to adapt,
for the purpose of remedying the ousting defects. -
* I am, &c. •
