MAY 18.1860. rift AN AS'I‘OU-NDlNG REVEL- A'lllON- There’s an .old saying “ that inur-. der will out,” and our cotcmporary, the New Era, having no revelations to make againsttbe Aurora J;I”s., rlieralds the “astounding” an- rnouneemcnt that we are “ an im- terialend supeiiritend the work, but they declined to accept it. The counties have receii'rd no benefit from their labor. Do they complain that there are no proper, buildings in which to work? We re. ply that the counties several times ofvi fered to increase the buildings to any required extent if the city would agree to coeupy for ten years on terms; but all these propositions were rejected; (See Council Reports from 1850 to test.) Still another objection has been urged ' against the payment of our claim. The Chamberlain state that they (the city authorities) 'haVe no means of lLDOWltl-g' whether the cori'iniitinents to the jail charged against the city are correct, and request that the name of each prisoner be furnished, and the time for which he. was committed. In reply,l have only to remind the Chamberlain that the whole ofthe desired information is quite within his reach. The police and other magis- trates of the city that have sent prison-‘ ers to the jail, are doubtless able to fur- nish the name of each prisoner, and the time for which he was committed; lJc- sides, full access may be had to the jail- , m‘s books at any time. where all of these particulars are carefully recorded. But I submit that it would be just about as reasonable for the Chamberlain to ask an account in detail of the quantity of pea- soup and oatmeal-porridge that, each prio; soncr has consumed. and the quantity of soap that has been dissolved in scouring ‘ his hide, as .to ask the name and the per~ ticular number of hours during which each prisoner has been maintained in jail. Such details possibly might be furnished ! but they Would involve an airaunt of lau her that would render the attempt simply Ridiculous. Enough, however, I imagine, will be found in the subjoined tabular statement to satisfy even a corporation. ~ It should be further observed, that the Government grant is exclusively to meet “ criminal justice expenses,” under which , head the city prisoners would be entitled to a comparatively small sum, while the county prisoners nearly all come under this head, which would entitle the counâ€" ties to a larger comparative proportion of the grant than the city; yet in this stateâ€" ment it will be seen that the Government grant is deducted from the gross ex- penses, thereby giving the city an ad- vantage it could not legally claim. The Chamberlain says, that for the year 18:36 the city paid $5,000. Here he is iii/error, as the city paid for that year only $3,800. He further states that in 1849 the arbitrators awarded that the city should pay $3,000 per aniniin until 1855. Here he is again astray.» There never was an arbitration held he- 'twcen the city and counties until 18:38, when Tires. \V. Gibb, Esq, of Oshawa. acted on behalf of the counties, George Boomer, Esq., of Toronto, on ochalf of the city, and John Langhill, Esq, was appointed umpire. These gentlemen dev cided that the crty should pay $5,000 a year for the use of the county buildings, as so muchrcnt during 1857 and 1859; but they did not take into aceumt the care and maintenance of the city prison- ers. The solicitor on behalf of the city, Clark Gamble, Esq., contending that the law did not contemplate the payment of anything for the care and maintenance .of the city prisoners,.the question was Freferred to Chief Justice Draper, and he agreed with Mr. Gamble.â€"~~Although the equitable proportion due from the city for the cure and maintenance of their prisoners for these two years amounted to over $17,000, over and above the $5000 a year avvarded as rent for the buildings, yet it was coolly said, andl the Clrarnberluia repeats the words, that the ‘- law ilkl not appear to contemplate the payment of any sum for the mainten- ance of their prisoner-s.” \Vith justice the Legislature might compel the counties to feed the Mayor, Aldermen; and Councilmen. \Ve complain of the! gross injustice-dire legal robberyâ€".suf- fered by Upper Canada from Lower (3a pads, but no act, l venture to aasrrt, in the history ‘of the‘united Provinces corn- ; parés injustice with that law which chives. that the counties shall feed, wash clothe, provide with beds, medicine, &c.,, &c., the 60.0 prostitutes and 1,400 Harry Heavies of'I‘oronto, without inuneration. .1 _ Now, if in view. of all these facts, the; Legislature refuse to pass a declaratory ,i not to legalise an equitable settlement of} the counties claim for ’57, and ’58, we} must apply to that body to pay thel amount out of the provincial chest. The $93,176 paid by the counties for the Liv-i. riefit of the city of Toronto, previous to3 1857, is quite enough for the counties to ‘ lose, without some $17,000 more being} added.
