§ Sir J. Graham,in moving the third reading of the Pentonville Prison Bill, remarked, that the prison was now completed, and that her Majesty's Government thought it desirable to bring it into operation on the 1st of July next. It would be necessary in the miscellaneous estimates to move a vote providing for the payment of the salaries to the officers attached to the establishment, and as he understood the hon. Member for Bath (Mr. Roebuck) wished to express some opinion on the separate system, he would suggest that it would be convenient if any discussion on that point were taken on that occasion.
§ Mr. Roebucksaid, that as far as he was concerned, he could see no objection to the right hon. Baronet's proposal. He certainly wished to express some opinions which he entertained on secondary punishments generally, and as an opportunity for that purpose would be afforded, he should offer no impediment to making progress with the Bill.
§ Bill read a third time and passed.
