LORD BROUGHAMbegged to call the attention of his noble Friend (the Marquess of Lansdowne) to two additional Resolutions on the subject of prison discipline which he desired to lay before the House. The object of the first of these resolutions was to prevent contamination amongst untried prisoners, by having recourse to separate confinement; and the next was, to have more frequent gaol deliveries. 2 The last-named object might, he considered, be effected by extending the jurisdiction of the county courts now established, by means whereof criminal justice might be there administered. He would then merely lay the Resolutions on the table, and, on a future occasion, he would call the attention of their Lordships to them.
§ House adjourned till To-morrow.
