Victoria Gaol,

13th.November, 1900.

I have the honour to inform you that there

are at present 4 vacancies for Warders in this Gaol, and that

on the completion of the new ward at present under construc-

tion 2 more warders will be required. These two additional

officers have been provided for in the Estimates for 1901.

No suitable candidates are offering in

the Colony for these vacancies and I therefore beg to request

that application be made to the Secretary of State for the

Colonies to have 6 candidates selected from the Prison Ser-

vice at home, as the new ward will be completed before the

end of the year.

A

I attach paper of particulars regarding

by these appointments, and I have to suggest that if the time

steps are taken in England to call for candidates the new

rates of pay recommended by the Committee which reported on

the salaries of Subordinate officers shall have been approved,

those rates be substituted for the rates now entered in the

paper of particulars. The enhanced rates shouldattract a good

class of men.

Honourable

The Colonial Secretary,

In
