M ktitirt I'ES Vl4lrtN6 JAILS.
Lord FOLK LSIONFe said, he conceived that al
Bill was wanting to settle the question *es to the
power of Magistrates to visit Jails, and to determine!
whether the power should esist or not or to what
Went, and in what circumstances it should esist..--
It was desirable that this matter should rest on rer.
tsinty. lie wished to settle the question by giving
Magistrates the power of visiting; but if Gentle.
men held a different opinion, they need not object to
his having lease to firing in R Bill, as it would give
an (opportunity for having the question fully dis.
cusse.i. and for settling when the power should or
should not cyst. lie trusted that leave would be
given him to bring in a Bill to remove doubts as to
Magistrates visiting Sheriffs' Jails, as &obis were
entertained on that subject. The House might re.
collect, last Session, that some Magistrates were pre.
rented from visiting Berkshire Jail, by order from
the Secretary of State. He had brought the matter
before the House, and had applied several times for
admission to the Jail. lie then carried the question
to a Court of Lim ; but the defendant was Sc.
quitted, and thorebs the question was decided
against him (Lord Folkestone). Tie verdict in this
particular case was decisive. Ile had attended the
trial, and he had carefully ea:mined the proceedings
and the summing up. But he thought no decisive
opinion was pronounced ; but that there were evi.
deafly doubts on the point. It was painful to make
particular remarks ; hut yet he most complain that
there appeared a partiality its the Judge, not a per-
sonal one, but to a particular side of the question,
during the whole of the trial. He had witnessed the
whole of the proceedings, and had considered them
over and over again. No man, he thought, could
say that much might he saiil and considered on the
opposite side. The Judge had spoken of his having
consulted books, but he came to a doubtful con
clalion; never saying what could he urged in fa.
your of a different conclusion. On this occasion
the question chiefly turned on the. sth clause of the
Statute of the 31st of the King. The Act was en.
titled one for the Better Regulating of Jails. Great
part of it did not refer to the jails he alluded to, but
he thought the clause he had noticed did comprehend
them. The preamble spoke of jails, houses of cor-
rection, penitentiaries, and places of confinement ;
hut in some respects was rather equivocally worded.
A forced construction seemed to have been put upon
it. The first four clauses related to Penitentiaries,
Houses of Correction, &c.; but the fifth clause spoke
of preventing all abuses in Jails and other pleces.of
confinement. Other clauses had reference to all
Jails, and to the Fees of Jailers, considering them as
Officers of the Sheriff. The 11th clause referred to
Sheriff's Jails. Some clauses which tie had read over
ahuudred times were decisive in his mind. It was
directed that returns should be signed by one of the,
visiting Magistrates, who, he must suppose, were
meant to he the visiting Magistrates of the partiCulai
Jail. This was the mily clause of the kind to be
found in any Act. lie thookht still that the clause-
referred to Saeriff's Jaili. U. supposed the Act was
to be captained on'the same principles as other Acts.
It is applied only to Houses of Correction ; some.
parts of it were useless. The Act of George 11.
enacted that there should be two viiitiog Msgistrates.

,inn was Complied with, and their friends were per.
witted to see them under certain restrictions. He
tied made enquiry, and by some expence of time
and money he could prove to the House, that the
same practice was continued since that.period.—
Under the successive Acts of Suspensions that had
taken place, both the friends of State Primness and
.the Magistrates of the respective counties were per.
liwtted to visit them. The 36th of the King eatend.
ed
the power of visiting to all cases of imprisonment.
If Ibis. Act excepted State. Prisoners bg implication
or otherwise, it violated the preceding practice, and
this no one pretended to affirm. Safe and close cu..
'testy meant merel, secure detention within the walla
~.of a jail. The inference, then, he deduced from all
those observations wus, that unless usage could he
shown to be hostile to his interpretation of the Act,
..whirh he was confident itcoeld not, Magistrates were
'.entitled to visit State Prisoners; and in order to
Ariake this doctrine indisputable, be moved for leave
!_to bring in a Bill to remove doubts, whether 36th
George 111. cb. 46, estended to common or county
jails.
I' The ATTORNEY-GENERAL complained, ie
the strongest terms, of the charge brought by 6401
t-Noble Lord against the Judge who tried his cause,'
for nothing could be a more serious crime, or one
more.entitled to reprobation, than that of a Judos.,
who, after the solemn oath he had taken, could lewd
himself to party purposes in heating a judicial cause.'
Ile had heard from the most intelligent authority,l
that that Learned Judge, so far from shooing this
partiality, had manifested throughout the whole o
the krkl, the strongest desire to.sift the -whole wetter.
to the bottom, and if ever there was a case in which
the defendant had a right to call on the Judge to
protect him from the weight of prejudice sent forth
against him, this was certainly that cite.—[ I tear,
hear !]—llow did the jailer stand? He had already
been twice convicted, expiate, by the Magistrates.
They had in fact voted him guilty before he was tried.
The man stood in a peculiar biluatio es ; he was, on
the one hand, under the orders of the Sheriff; again,
he bad to obey the directions c.f the Secretary of
Sate; then again, he had to meet the wishes of the
whole of the Magistracy. It was due to this jailer's
character to say, that up to the moment when he had
incurred the displeasure of the Magistracy, his con-
duct in his office had uniformly been obedient to his
superiors, affections'e to his equals, and entitled to
the gratitude of the unfortunate prisoners intrusted
to his care. When the Noble Lord thought proper,
in his view of the cue, to charge the Judge with
partiality, he ought to have reflected a little on his
own, situation, and thought, whether he himself
might not have had an undue bias against the jailer from
hit previous discussions with the Magistrates. Of
the charge of the Learned Judge on the trial, all he
would say was this, that if lie coold presume to give
a private opinion on the law therein laid down, it
would be, that it was not put strong enough as
against the Noble Lord's proposition.—[ llear,
hear !]—The question was, whether Magistrates had,
under the 31st of the King, a right to enter jails
for the purpose of visiting prisoners detained there
on charges of treason. The common jails were, both
by the Statute and Common Lew, the jails of the
King for the benefit of the State. In the reign of
Edward 111. and Henry VII. Statutes had bees
passed on this subject, in which the prisons were set
forth as " the King's Jails," and where the Sheriffs
were appointed as responsible to the King far the
safe custody of his prisoners. It would be strange
then if the Magistrates could, by law, step in and
interfere with this responsibility—see what the con.
sequence of such interference alight be. Times had
been when great differences of opinion were held•
among the higher classes on political topics. ea dis-
puted successions, and other weighty points.
pose, on on such an occasion, that a Magistrate were
to demand this tight from the Sheriff, and esercise-it•
for any purpose he might think fit, would this not
beat down all the guards provided by the Crown far
" the safe end close custody" of the prisoner
[Mar, hear !]—He denied the construction put by-
the Noble Lord on the words " safe and close cue-
tody." There was a strong and a marked distinc-
tion between the words—and the Crown, in draw:
iug op the warrants of commitment, attended to this
distinction, for, in the very cast in question, soma
of the warrants only dictated "safe" custody, teMle
others had the ward "close" added.

Sir F. BURDETT was not well acquainted with

on the question. As to what had fallen from the

lowed, that after he had been in the first instance re-

that he was acting illegally, to which be replied, " I
quite agree with you ; I believe I. have no right to
keep you out ; but I am ordered by my superiors to
do so, and I must ()Spy." On ttsf. 14th of June, he
again went to the jail, but the jailer persisted in his
refusal to admit him. At the ensuing Quarter Ses-
sions, he (Lord F.). offended, made a luring! Com-
plaint of the conduct of the jailer, and moved a get
of resolutions, one of which was, that the Meg's-
trite, had a right, under the Statute of the 31st of
the King, to go into the jell. , The Court unani-
mously agreed in his opinion. The jailer was called
in and admonished; and told that the Magistrates
Considered they bad a right to visit the jail. Tim
jailer applied for leave to write to the Secre-
tary of State. This was refused, and an hour given
to him for his determination, at the expiration of
which period, he said he would let them in; Ile
(Lord Folkesone) then thought the question was set
