ADVISED ny ABRAHAM O'nALL,
az counsel Tor the Commissioners OF Charities and
Correction, that 1t wNs necessary. Judge McCunn
said he had repeatedly disreg rdej Mr. Halls advice
in such matters and II had no weight with him.
At tho opening OF the Court yesterday Judge
McCunn inquired whether the prisoner was pre-.
