HONGKONG, Monday, March 6, 1882.
NEARLY, five years ago the Earl of CARNAR- ros, Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, in a despatch to Go- vernor HENNESSY on the broad question of
prison discipline and general treatment of criminals, observed:-"I rely on you to review the whole question of prison dis cipline in Hongkong; and to make such proposals as will place the system upon a sound basis for the future." The thoroughly unsatisfactory character of our prison dis- cipline and treatment of criminals, the gross outrages on common humanity and our advanced civilisation, the shocking | brutalities which would have disgraced a heathen nation, and which for years had been openly, although illegally, carried on had at length made theniselves known at in this Colony under Government sanction, the Colonial Ofice, and, in obedience to the indignant voice of public opinion

measures to effect a sweeping reform by instructing the Governor of the Colony

It has been generally believed that Sir Jous POPE HENNESSY came to Hongkong hotling certain preconceived opinions as to the treatment of the criminal classes, formed from his associations with the Chi nese race in other parts of the world, antl we have seen it frequently stated that from the very commencement of his governorship he left no stone unturned to substitute his own peculiar humanitarian ideas for the then existing state of affairs.
