fit • CITY DEBTORS PRISON.
Sir W. CURTIS moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enlarge
powers to raise sums of Money for the building of a New Jail
for. Debtors in the city of London.
Mr. H. SUMNER wished the Honourable Baronet to state
,
. the reasons that induced application to be made for this Bill; every
i Comity and City ought to be at the expense of their own Prisons.
Sir W. CURTIS replied, that the particulars were set forth
1
in the Petition, which had been referred to a Committee; and
which Committee had recommended the MIL .
Mr. BENNET complained of the edifice as far as it had pro-
ceeded ;it was an ill-arranged and clumsy building. It was quite
tight that the debt incurred should be paid ; but he wished the
('ity of London to be just before they were generous—he should
like to see them pay their debts before they gave away swords
'and muff-boxes to support some Minister of the day !—(flcor.)
,
He should like to see what were the funds of the City—what
were their comings-in ; but at all events the state of their prisons
7 wasslisgeaceful to them. They did nothing till they were goaded
-i. toil--scent indeed their flourishes to flatter men in power; and
r the wretched state of the Borough Compter, in particular, WWI a
(. plea %illicit backwardness to take becoming care of their prisons.
:isir .I...kideis SHAW defended the motion, observiag that the
eiptasfiture had exceeded the estimate. As to the expenses in-
meted by, the City in entertaining the liberators of Europe (the
amount for the repast being 40,0001.) he did not envy the feel-
' logs of the Hononourable Member (Mr. Bennet) if he grudged
neck a sum on such an occasion.
•
. Mr. H. SUMNER should move as an amendment, that the
motion be adjourned to the last day for receiving private Bills,
to enable the House to ascertain what use the City had made of
the money already obtained on account of the Prison.
Mr. Alderman WOOD said, the City had done all in their
power to enlarge their Prisons, as he maintained the present
condition of them proved. He added, greater expenses had
been gone to In consequence of a recommendation of a Com-
mittee of that House; and when more money was required to
carry into effect the suggestions of the Committee, it was rather
, .
hard thus to complain.
Mr WILLIAM CURTIS observed, that the City Autho-
rities were re.idy to give the amplest explanation—the City
i desired to do nothing in a corner—but the Committee an the
Bill would afford fit opportunity to institute the inquiry requir-
ed by some.
Mr. THORNTON supported the Amendment.
'Mr. B. SUMNER undo-took to withdraw his Amendment
if the Hob. Member would present the City's Account.

4ANI;FACTURERS.
Sir ROBERT PEEL held a Petition from a num.
1 ber oNleopre, who had perhaps done more for their
country, in point of labour, than arty other class of
individuals. They had come to him in an unexpected
i manner, and stated, that they , were aware that if
they gained their object, it would be attended with
a -reduction of wages : but they were willing to sub-
mit to any privation rather than continue to be op-
,
v pressed by eacessive labour. They complained that
1 i
they were made to work in the looms not less than
11 or 15 hones a day , that they could undergo much
confinement, but that there was a period when that
excessive labour proved too oppressive to be sup-
ported by the human constitution. When so much
was done to increase the prosperity of our trade, he
thought that the House should not shrink from ex-
tending its protection to those by whom the mann-
) futures that fed that trade were carried on. He had
i brought in a Bill, in former years, for the protection
of Apprentices, and it had produced beneficial re-
t stilts; but its provisions were now evaded by the
practice of taking .the children of paupers without
any indentures or regulations. It was the duty of
the House to protect those children, who had no other
protectors than its Members.
U
? The Petition was then read. It was signed by about
6,000 labourers above 14 years of age. in. the spin.
fling manufactories in Manchester and its 'neighbour.
