The MoLDY BREAD AFYAIR.-We have been a.
some pains to inquire into the modus operindi BY
which the unpleA A. ant incident at Jefferson Market
happened We find that ali the baking FOR the sup
ply Of The Prisons 10 done at Black wells Island
that the Governors Of the Aims House purchase
the best Of -four, ranging from 81 so to 6 50 per
barrel that the baking is done Ia proper man
Der, fresh bread being turned o1t every day, OF a
quality unexceptionGble for the purpose required
All the bread for the supply Of the prisoas in the
City, ia sent down TO the Tonbs, and thence dis
hibuied to Essex and Jefferson Markets by direc-
ton Of Mr. Edmonds, keeper at the Tonb'. 10
the morning the prison van known as the " Black
Maria" takes the prisoners committed q. the upper
stations to the TornbI ard on return takes up tie
days allowance Of bread for those on short cOnine
ment at the Jefferson and Essex Markets. On toe
occasion 10 which we have referred is seems that
Mr.. Edmonds was out Of town, without the know
ledge Of the Governors, and that somebody pat on
board the Black Maria" a lot Of bread which had
been some days at The Tombs, lying at the bottom
OF the box. This was wretchedly damp and moldy'
and entirely unfit for food When il arrived a. the
prison st Jefferson Market it was condemned q;
once Justice Bleakley remark ed haiti should not
20 into the prison that he would bay good bread
sooner himself although be did not do So It not be-
ing necessary the deputy Keeper aIo rejected it,
and forth y in procured good bread for which the
Governors have paid The amount Of the matter,
then, is in the main ts we frat stated bu. there 10
this much in mitgation,-i: Was occnioned by &C.
cident and notfrom deagD, and that accident arose,
probably from the absence Of afr. Edmonds. In
order to prevent any such mihap in future the Ten
Governors have directed the distribution to be
made directly from the bakery, by special convey.
sDces, and Black Maria will hereafter be c)n.
fined to her legitimate business OF transporting
prisoners. This is - it should be-all right.
With regard to the general grievances want OF
room especially, at Jefferson Market the Cover
nou say that they are ready 10 make all proper re-
forms but the Common Council will not give them
the lands We recollect the persiItence with which
the Governors have urged the Council to provide
new Poiter's Field, and the obstinate silence with
vhish their appeals have been received. When 1t
comes to hurryng Aldermen, we confess the case
is desperate These worthy Fathers can stand
greater amount Of urging and make less headFay
than any living body excep. the So5h, and they
will soon overtake him 10 lAziness We would
merely suggest, in view Of the September session.
that they purchase and cancel the lease for a por
terhouie which they have granted under the Pc
lice Court At Jt lerson Market and appropriate the
space to needful prison Improvements.
