THE CASE OF WARDER BEVES. E. M. Boves, a warder in Victoria Gaol, was sgain brought up on remand for neglecting his daties on the 2nd inst. The large was made under See. 17 of Ordinance No. 7, 1899, which reads Every prison officer who, after having duly engaged and bound himself to serve as such officer, absents himself from his duties, or why, upon being dismissed or permitted to resign from, or ceasing to belong to, the service of the prison, does not deliver up all arms, accoutrements appointments, and things on trusted to him for the performance of his duty as seh officer, shall be liable to a fine not reed ing $100, or to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for any term not exceeding three pay during such imprisonment." that defendant was absent from duty at six a.m on the 2nd ist.

permanent staff, as well as those whose probs tion has not been completed, shall, on their ser vices being dispensed with, be entitled to a month's notice or a month's pay in lieu of notice but if they have committed an offence meriting it, then they shall be liable to be dismissed at once any notice or pay in lieu of without a who wishes to resign his ap notico. An pointment shall give three months notice or shall pay to the Saperintendent a sam eqniva. lent to three months pay of the rank ho may hold." The inter part of the suction applies to pernianent officers us well as to officers on pro bation. I am of opinion that the giving of three months' notice or the payment to the Superintendent of a sum equivalent to three months'

I therefore convict the defendant of thao charge, and order him to pay a fine of $100, in default of which he will be uprisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks.
