'tfMSi ' 1 From the few and imperfect ; returns oiade to the Executive department, under the Act of 1838 J31:the committee have been able to collate' some facts which may oe useful in 'this connexion, as enabling them to arrive at conclusions, not altogeV uer conjectural, tieiurns irom iniriy-nve, ounties showthat; the number of prose- utions for the year prior to June 1st. 1840. .or crimes ? and misdemeanors, was one thousand three hundred and fifty-eight.---?- it mis number, seventy-nine were crimes fi various grades from" petit larceny to murder, of which there -were thirty-two-i Convictions, twenty-one acquittals, . and .wenty-two not tried. (We will here re? mark, tn passant, that these returns also how, that in these thirty-five . counties there were two hundred and fbrtv-nine funatics and idfets.) Taking it for grant! 'edthat theremaining thirty-five counties Iwould have furnished an; equal' calendar jwi crime, we nave ipr inai year, two thou sand se ven hundred and sixteen prosecul tionsr-pne hundred and fifty-eight of vhich would be included in a penitentia-3 ry code. Of this number, sixty-four were bojivictions, forty-two were acquittals, and! sfprty-four untried.. iFrom 'our oii obser- jyation of criminal trials, may we not con-r kjlude that of -these) ibrty-fbur acquittals many escaped conviction on account of the severity of the punishment and human ity of the jury These returns further show that in ten counties,' the sums paid fbr the prosecution of insolvent criminals nd their maintenance iji jail, for the year1 839amounted tci ilie sum $4,110 97 -vhicb is rfh average for each county, of ,$411 10. We may assume that half of tjiia sum was incurred in the prosecution! of State prison ofiences, and that is a fairi average for each county. From these data then we have the sum of 815,000 00 an-! dually expended in the State of North; Carolina, -for-the 1 prosecution and main-j ehanee, in jail, of insolvent criminalsj charged wuh the commission of peniten tiary offences. ' Assuminsr. : then, that d ik, . m , J 9 9 penitentiary would ibe a public 1 charsre of f iu.ouu 00 annually- (which it probably! vou Id not be,) it; would be a saving of jxperise in the administration of the crim- inal law. . ; d,.' - . !ii As to the cost of construction, the com-! jmittee do mT possess sufficient informal lion to enabltheni to make any estimate? KvnichJhey can conhdently recommend as being correct. It necessarily depends up-1 iqn the extent of the work, and is usually' esnmaiea ny tne cell. Penitentiaries built lipon the Auburn system are generally deferred for their cheaoness. m wbII beir internal arrangement ind superior uiscipune. ine ouuaings and ground ot the Maine Penitentiarv cost 830.000 00. bile the Auburn cost over 8000,000 00 the number of cells not known.

Y. . dd" 200 00 u Weathersfield, Conn, do 150 00 ' Baltimore, Md. do 146 00 j From these facts we may conclude with some- certainty that" the cost of such a huildinsr in this State would nnt e-rrfrd 8500 per cell, and would probably fall! mtu suuii, ui ii - ouiwe win put it down t five hundred dollars! We have shown bove, the Drobable Convictions for State Prison . offences, an- puaiiy, to De about sixty-four. The num- i i' . ' er oi prisoners, in ine year 1839, in the ' )hio penitentiary, was 485 in Baltimore,! 28 in Kentucky, .157 in Washington! City, 62 in Tennessee, in 1837, was 122 p7w B.U.HOI.VMI itJiytKiaiiuu on iue vari ous matters considered in this report, of a later date than 1839, are within the reach pf this jCommittee. May we not assume, then, as abhsis oT calculation, that a build (ng with two hundred cells would be suf ficiently extensive for this State. Two iundred cells at 8500 per cell, fixes the cost of this work at 8100,000. m 1 he question now comes up, of the ways; md means. How shall the funds be rais-1 fd? We answer, by direct taxation.)
