TRANSFERS TO THE WORK-HOUSE.
Ju dye Howe Holds That Jail Prisoners May
Be So Transferred.

The Superior Court yesterday, in an opinion by
Judge Howe passed upon the legality of the transfer
of prisoners under Jail sentence to the workhouse.
William D. Coons, on Oct. II last was convicted of
bigamy, before the Board of Commissioners had de-
clared the workhouse ready for prisoners but after
wards such entry made, and Coons, with 9TH
ers, was sent to the workhou He seeks re-
lease by writ of habeas corpus. The work house
act of 1879 is assaulted by his counsel being
stitutonal The last section provides in effect that
when any person is sentenced to JAIL he may be trans
ferred, at any time during his confinement, to the
workho under such rules regulations and
orders the board may aadopt The ground of un-
constitutionaity is claimed to be increase of pun
ishment. The court says:
But in so viewing the matter the REALTORS counsel
think, overlook the progress of prison reform and
the considerations which probably influenced the Leg
sature in the passage of the law Formerly hardened
criminals and persons held for trial. old and young
and women, and poor debtors, all huddled
together indscrimnateiy in loathsome dungeons and
kept in enforced dleness, without the slightest
for their present conditions future reform alton In
administration. One of the reforms is the putting of
convics to work This is not only for the benefit of
the State but for the benefit of the convict himself
The Judge adds: IF this objection that he is to work
is valid, the objection might be urged against
the House of Refuge act. 1t was urged that
the act changed the place of confinement.
The work house is simply method of discipline
which could not be carried out in ordinary jail 1"
The court further holds that the criminal code of
1881 does not repeal the act and in conclusion sug
gests if it shall be held that the workhouse act is in
valid that prisoners might be committed under Section
1866 r. S., 1881, which provides that convicts sem
fenced to the county jail can be worked upon any
other work improvement for the public good or
benefit. Judges Taylor and Walker concur.
