Ir is not often that the public are fa voured with a Gaol Report of sich sur- passing interests that which we re produced last evening over the signature of M. 8. Tonnochy, Superintendent." The refreshing element introduced can- not fail to please as well as to arrest the attention of our readers, and those who devote much time to a consideration of such matters will feel great obligations to Mr Tounochy for having thrown in Lan interesting polemical vein into what generally is a mers dry matter-of-fact statement. Mr Tonnochy's style is not lacking in smoothness and grace, and it may be expected that, under the abla and skilful heads of Mr Hennessy, his reports may become even more interest- ing and captivating than that now be- fore us.

While giving Mir Hennessy credit for this, it will be come the duty of the unofficial members of the Legislative Council, on beball of the public, to count the ort: The ne system adopted of giving loag sentences "say seven years," as the report pute
