No. 18.

The Earl of Carnarvon to Governor Longden, C.M.G.

(No. 217. British Guiana.)

Sir,

Downing Street, December 28, 1875.

I HAVE received your despatch No. 205,* of the 29th of September, forwarding the annual Report of Mr. Sheriff Brumell on the gaol of George Town and the subsidiary prisons.

I approve the measures which you have taken to improve the condition of the prisons in the Colony, but I cannot refrain from recording my opinion that the state of things disclosed in this Report is little creditable to those who are responsible for having neglected the exhortations on the subject repeated by successive Secretaries of State during the last ten years;

I do not consider that the prison system of the Colony will be entitled to be regarded as being upon a sound basis until the prison of George Town is reconstructed and I trust you upon the separate system; but I have confidence in your zeal and energy, will in time bring your influence to bear successfully with the local bodies, and secure their support in carrying out the necessary reforms.

I have, &c. (Signed)

CARNARVON.
