Tombs Court Faults Inquest On Inferior Courts Reform
Magistrate Peter T. Barlow condemned conditions in the Tombs and Essex Market police courts and urged reforms. He criticized crowded passages aiding escapes, unsanitary prison attachages, and graft risks from runners and “greeters.” He supported keeping a court squad, rejected abolishing the bridge, and urged tighter control of bondsmen, better use of summonses, and cautious workhouse releases. He also noted declines in bail abuses since the Night Court and called for clerks to be limited access to jail workflows.
