overcrowded there are few places of confinement where the mortality among prisoners is lower, and where their general health is better than in the Victoria Gaol.

This point should be carefully considered before being definitely settled. He states that sites have been recommended at Pokfulam, Bowrington, and at Causeway Bay, but it is impossible to say whether any other site may be more suitable.

It is questionable whether a prison erected at any of these selected sites would be found so healthy. Mr. Brown mentions objections to the site already contemplated and is strongly of the opinion that, if a new prison is to be built, none of these places would prove as salubrious as the present one.

On the whole, I am disposed to favour the last proposal, viz: to enlarge the Gaol.
