Mr. Secretary Peelsaid, he would not preface his motion with any observations, as he was satisfied, that the subject might be discussed more advantageously in a select committee of the House than in the House itself. The principal object of that Committee would be, to consider the best mode of facilitating the union of prisons of local jurisdictions with the county gaols. He would at once move, "that a Select Committee be appointed to consider the Laws relating to Prisons, and to report their observations thereupon to the House."—The motion was agreed to, and a Committee appointed.
