To the Editor of the "CHINA MAIL." May 1, 1878. SIB-You say in a leader yesterday, "We do not frequently hear of outrages by convict gange, placed under propor super- vision, in other parts of the world." So much for the text. Now for the discourse. By whom was Lord Mayo murdered? How did Captain Dent mest his death? In 1823 Bermuda was made a penal settlement, Before 1880 auch outrages codurred that four convicts were hang, Thirty years later thanks to the potato mold or tated by Sir Joshua Jobb, flogging did not deter convicts from rising in open mutiny, as saulting their warders in the quarries, and out one occasion it was necessary for the guard to fire on a party who attempted to Fescue a man from a well-deserved dog- ging. Indeed the conviste became, under the management dictated from home, so insubordinate that the establishment had to be done away with. There men were never employed in public streets, but away from outsiders on the public works.

I remember a rising at Portland, when boatswain's maten were landed from the ships there to flog the convicts, as the warders were afraid to do it, thele lives having been threatened if they did their duty. There I heard of cases of assault on officers and guards in the quarries. risings have there been at Chatham, requiring very prompt action and the assistance of the garrison there? I do not remember any rising at Portsmouth, though I have heard of many cases of insubordination--but here as at Chatham and Portland they are employed on works away from the general community. When I visited Parkhurat, although this in lo a great measure a reformatory, I was told that those employed in the fields and liable to contact with the outer world became troublesome. At Princetown the same was told me. So long as the regular prison discipline went on all seemed out an influx of visitors to the neighborste or to the prison seemed to light up a desire for the outer world, and with the first fog there were attempts to escape,
