Mr. GOFF: petition from Mark R. ..COckriIl, re-
moAs.raing against the passage Of bill ncOrpora-
ting the Nashville, Clifton, and Robertson Island
Turnpike and Ferry Company. Referred.
THE PENITEETIARY.
Mr. G0FF, on the part Of the Committee on the
PenitentiaTy, submitted the following
REPORT
The Committee having examined into the cOndi-
ton Of the Penitenary and its affairs, beg lesve to
report that they found the accounts as far they
were enabled 20 ascertain correct and in accordance
with the report of the Superintendent
The Committee would further report, that they
visited every department Of said building and found
upon examination the same to be in such order and
condition. as was best calculated to promote the in
terest Of the establishment. The Committee would
further report that bill has been introduced to
settle the wages Of the guards and other matters,
which have heretofore been productive Of conten-
ton and dispute The Committee would further re-
port that the number Of eonYiets as they are now
informed, exceeds three hundred. This large num-
Der exceeds the sleeping departments, and it there
fore becomes necessary double some fifty into sin
gle cells This crOWding together in close cOn6ne
ment during the summer months, your Committee
believe is we'll calculated to generate disease; and
they therefore recommend that an additional num-
Der of cells be constructed, allowing each separate
sleeping apartment. Your Committee looking TO the
present and future interest of the State, after due
reflection, would recommend change in the looa-
ton of the Penitentary. Should this be determined
upon, the Committee would suggest that the addi-
tiOnal cells be merely temporary until nav build
ing can be completed; and for this purpose the
superintendent be directed to appropriate part Of
the convict labor
