disorderly and untasteful habits. No one who knows the country can fail to see that these remarks, which are of universal application, are worth more than ordinary attention in this island.
The old provost cells are occasionally used for the punishment of offenders, but no boy is over kept there for more than a day, unless it is necessary to prevent his abeconding.

Penal labour, in the strict sense of the word, is unknown at the Reformatory. The boys are employed in the garlan and workshops, which include a carpenter's, cabinet maker's, and cooper's shop, each under the charge of an English workman. The garden is superintended by an English gardener. They do not now work outside the institution, though this was formerly the case. The girls are employed in washing and housecleaning. The institution enters into contracts with private individuals for washing; this, if carefully supervised and attended to, will be well supported, and form a consider- able source of revenue.
The officers of the institution consist of—
The Superintendent, whe receives a salary of 3401, per annum.
A Schoolmaster, 150. per annum.
A Clerk and Storekeeper, 751. per annum.
A Gardener, 751. per annum.
A Cooper, 120 per annum
A Carpenter, 1007, per annum.
Three male warders, one at 18s, the others at 10a, a-week.
A Watchman, at 98. 8-week.
A Salesman, at 12s. a-week.
A Tailor, at 148, a-week.
A Cartman, at 10s, a-week
A Matron, at 351. per annum.
A Schoolmistress, at 351. per annum.
Two Female Warders, at 10s. and 8s per week, respectively.
An Hospital Nurse, at 8s. per week.
They all, with the exception of the salesinan and cartman, reside on the premises, are provided with quarters, and are allowed to purchase their food from the Reformatory stores at cost price, plus .5 per cent. for carriage, which is done by the Reformatory cart. However necessary this arrangement may have been when the institution was first opened at Stony Hill, we cannot now recommend ita being continued, for we are satisfied that there will be no difficulty in procuring supplies from the shop close by.

The garden, which now contains ten acres, promises to be a great success. It not only is a source of increasing profit to the Reformatory, but tends to supply a want much felt in Kingston, by setting the example of cultivating European vegetables, besides sugar-cane, bananas, plantains and other tropical fruits; potatoes, parsnips, lettuces, English peas, artichokes, and other productions of temperate climates are successfully grown.
At present the institutions, both reformatory and training college, are under the sole management and control of one officer, over whom there is no supervision whatever.
We would recommend that the Inspector of Prisons should periodically visit the Reformatory in the same way and with the same authority as he inspects the different prisons under his charge, and that, if possible, the training college be placed under the periodical supervision of the Professor of the Queen's College.
