MR. RICHARDSON 8

EX-Police-Justice ID. G. Richardson was
next introduced by Major Stiles, who took
occasion TO say that he had once heard the
Judge Of higher court say that il MIR.
Richardson was not the best police Judge
he had ever seen he had never seen a bet
ter one.
Mr.. Richardson reviewed the subject in
mastery mannor. being thoroughly ac-
qualntcd with II. lie conceded with Judge
Christian in his opinion of the CITY iail.
Mr.. Richardson dividedpunishmen into
two sorts. One was for the object OF re-
formation. the other 10 deter the commits
sion Of crime. OF the latter class he gave
as instance Of vindictive punishment tho
fact that the records Of Henrico County
Court showed that IN l772 a man convicted
OF misdemcanor was ordered 10 be taken
90 the markct-place and have one ear
nailed 20 the pillory for an hour, at the
end of which time il was 10 be cut Of close
to the head the other ear was then TO be
treated IN the same manner for the same
length oi time. when he was 10 be brand
ed IN both hands and allowed to CO.
Az practical instance Of the workings
Of the Richmond city Jail, Mr. Richardson
said he remembered fifteen years ago when
Horace HOyan, now one Of the most noto-
rIous thieves IN the country, made his first
appearance IN the Police Court III this
city young and tender boy fresh from
hls Sunday school. In consequence Of his
youth he was DISCHARGED Again he came
before the court and was convicted but
friends interested themselves and he was
released. third time he was arrested,
and there was no alternative but 20 send
HIM to Jail. When his term was up he
came ont "A thOroughly-tra thief
through the instruction Of those confined
thcIcin. Several days ago he read in q
newspaper that 10 was estimated that since
Horace HOyan and his pal" left Rich
mond they had stolen no less than
g 600 900.
During the course Of Mr.. Richardson's
remarks slips were circulated among the
audience. with the request that all willing
10 Join the association TO be organized IN
the near future should sign and return
them.
MR.. WARMER.
This gentleman is IA very pleasing talkcr.
as he announced in opening he did not
propose to make speech, but simply 10
give an informal talk in behalf of the sub
Ject under discussion. While thoroughly
in earnest with his theme his entire re-
marks were permeated with dry humor
very amusing 10 the audience.
Mr.. Warner appears 10 bc about fifty
years of age, Is Of medium height, with
gray hair and beard. His address is very
prcpoeScssing and bis voice is splcndidly
adaptcd 90 public speaking, no having u
good delivery and a clear enunciatiou.
Last night he was attrod ~ the regulation

Mr. Warner spoke for about an hour and
