To the Honorable the General Assembly Of

Your memorialsis, believing the presen'

study of the Law be introduced ini0 the Ohio
Penteniinry, and ''in case suitable persons
may not nj any time be found in the Peui-
Tertiary, the Directors" should "employ such
competent persons as may be necessary to
instruct cOnvicts. SO that they may be COM
petent to" practice before any proper judi

said, the Directors should, as far as practi-
cable, select persons under 30 years Of age,
and such as may have the longest period 10
remain in the Penitentiary," aud in the event
Of said Directors finding it difficult 10 pro-
cure suitable instruction., the Governor
should have power to make draft on the
county Of Logan. Your memorinIsls believe
that il this object is carried into effect, it will
not only give said convicts a start in the
world, after the expiration Of their term OF
service 10 the State, but would advance the
profession generally. And we would fur
lher Suggest, that when any one OF more Of
said convcts thus ''insiructed" in the Law
are deemed competent by said Directors,
they should be hired out TO nny county re-
quirng their service, to serve such county
as its Prosecuting Attorney, at the usual
cost Of prison labor.
