The disadvan tages of the present system are very aptly illustrated in the last report of the Superintendent of the Sing apore Prison." European prisoners, the Superintendent states, "who remain in association, appear scarcely to regard their imprisonment as any punishment; they break stones, make mats, pisk oakum, and mess together during the day. At night they are locked up in wards containing from five to ten men, and they appear to pass very pleasant evenings, There is some ground to believe that mea requiring medical care have committed an offence hoping to gain admission to this Prision, where they are treated in a comfortable Hospital free of expense, rather than go to the General Hospital who they are charged 75 cents a day." Should Mr Hennessy abolish flogging we are inclined to believe the adoption of the separate system will become almost & necessity, if anything approaching security is to be enjoyed in the Colony. As we have said before, the great objection to the adoption of the system will be that of expense.
