Mr. Viekery has requested us to insert the follovintc conitradictions of the statemenlts c.ontained in a paragraph which appearel hi our paper of Saturdav:- " Mfr. Fauntleroy has never residled in my house, and he only conles there when he wishes to see any person who inay have an order to visit hirJ-a privilege which is al- lowed to anv other prisoner placed in simuilar circumstanres- His comforts are not greater than those enjoyed by other prisonersF -who stand iu the sailte situation. No person is allewed to visit hint withouL a Maaistrate's order. Mr, Fautileroy has netver, to my knowledg>e, had rmore than six sovereigis in Ihis possession at one tilne Sinec he (itered the priso,; and the AMagistrates have hirected no change with respect to his mode of confiremernt." T1he following cormnunication, on the samPe subject, has bcen sent to us by hx, C=naiit _ " r(reat ilarlborough-street. OcL I0. " The (Goverinor of the House of Correction, Coldbath- fields, having stated to MIr- Conant, the inapistrate whe commoitted Mr. Faundteroy to his custody, ihat a DaragraphI had appeared. in T7he Times of Saturday last, stating that represcntations had been imade !o the comnimitiug magis- trate, froin a quarter deeply interested in seeing the tends of justice fulfilled, of the culpabie remissness with whict Mr. Fauntleroy was attended, an(t adlding, that ari investigation liad taken piace which had, ti, dotiby, led to the adoption of stncter precautions, Ir. Conant jiiinks it due to the Governor, whose cornduct is thus called in questios, tv state, that r!.e above parsgraph r incirrect -in every msen- tial p)oint for tiiiAgh an inqui-y took piate, in conse- querc. oi a cornmunicast;0on ruom the Bank, of ihs being reported that an ii,dividmsal hari been admnitted to a ptivate interview witi .1ir.

C'onant, not cnly that the Gv.rnor had not admitteit Lidt *imdividual to a rr ivate interview (which has on.ly been allowed to the partniers of the banking-house 2and the two legal asivistrs), but also that l,e has faithfullv observed his itistrurcni;ns in evm-rvh t respect-persons being kept corn- t ii,ualiy hit,, th'e pi'Uion'r both by d2y ant! nigit, no one hav-cng zs~cn mn si'thout an `xPIes. *itle- anti nothinwg being eonveve ta L,ni vyninout prev:ou7 cxaaniinmtoii I ncithicir is it El 1v trial 11,' rz rai n,'l i!' the GnrorfOr'5 tIha.ute, or thal' In puilht of diet, iie has bad any indJ;-encea tLat arc nt.t enjoyed by all persows in hiS sits n wht consent to gnve up the prism allo ance, I It may be -eei bv a rcJerer.ce to the h of the pre-.nL P.nt Act, that any htnFe furt i:::c,rs tro- wards aii untried tnsonei woudi:l be co- r- Y law. 1 We have no wish to prejudice the individnal wvhosa coniduct has thus been called inj question ;but it is Decessery, in jusiice to ourselres, to assert, that the statement cam- plainetd of ,a- the substance of a conmmunication made to tLil Dirnerors of the Bank bv the gentleran who had the i inteivie.w witl MAlr.
