I am aware that 5 men occupy the same quarters as you in the Gaolers' quarters, Hollywood Road.

Those quarters are rather crowded and are in a very noisy thoroughfare.

I should be surprised if a man did not sleep, being used to the noise.

An European who is not a hospital warder goes on duty at night once every 10 or 11 weeks.

Thomson.

A hospital warder is on duty every third week. That is the order of the Medical Officer, Dr.

Incident It is not the fact that since this mistake occurred the night duty for hospital warders has been abolished.

There being only one hospital warder the Medical Officer in question requested that the principal warder should remain on duty to enable him to instruct a newly appointed warder in hospital duties.

As a matter of fact no European has done duty as hospital warder at night, since.

An Indian looks after the hospital at night now.

A hospital warder does not do more day duty than any other warder in the Gaol.

TO ATTORNEY GENERAL.

From 5.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. on 28th June he was free from duty. After 5.30 a.m. the warder would have to see that coolies removed night soil buckets and that might keep him there a little longer.
