Y«ar. 1815 1816 liB17 1818 EngUmd and Wales. Ireland. | Cottimitted. Convicted. Committed. Convicted 7,818 9,09i 13,932 13,567 4,883 5,797 9,056 9,858 5,792 ^ 11,273 . 13,209 13,564 2^319 4,490 4,620 5,877 Total 44,458 28,694 43,888 - 16,815. ' From the examination of .this table it will appear^ that, great as has been the increaise of crinie in England, the increase in Ireland has be6n even more rapid. Had * the commitmedts increased in the same ratio with those, in England, they would have am...ounted in 1818 to 10,516 only ; and in the same proportion the convic* jtions would lipt have exceeded 4214; but, comparing these num- bers with the actual returns, we find an actual excess of 9513 com* mitments, and i 1 63 convictions. We have seen that the total num« ber of persons committed is pretty nearly the same in both islands, and Is consequently much greater in proportion to the smaller po- pulation of Ireland. The number of convictions is less in the pro- portion of four to seven. Hence it must follow that in Irelafid a prisoner has a much greater chance of acquittal^ than his brother in iniquity, tlie British felpn.
