THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 10TH MARCH, 1880.
have returned to Gaol a second time. Under the new Dietary Scale these three men will get Reduesi Penal Diet in addition to their separate confinement. One of these three men has since been relen and I see that he is making strenuous efforts to obtain his livelihood by other than dishonest means.
8. I have much satisfaction in stating that I have every confidence in the Officers who are now employed in the Gaol, and who from the Warden downwards do their best to preserve discipline. Cus of inebriety on the part of the Officers are almost unknown, and consequently there are few complai of assaults by them on prisoners, and such an occurrence as an attack by a prisoner on an Officer whil is the natural outcome of bad discipline, and ill usage has not happened since I have been in charge of
the Gaol.
9. There have been only twelve cascs of Corporal punishment for Gaol Offences during the last year, and these all occurred before the 8th Augut last since which date there has been no
flogging in this Gaol.
10. The transfer of the Gaol Guards from the Police to the entire control of the Superintendent of the Gaol has been a most beneficial step and the men are not only well satisfied, but seem more active in their duties.
11. I have made an attempt during the past year to increase profitable labour amongst the prisoners but although I have been most successful as far as I have been able to go, want of room curtails any further endeavours in this direction.
12. Out of the Officers' fine fund I purchased a number of amusing and instructive books and now there is formed the nucleus of a good Officers' library. The want of a reading room is very much felt, but at present there is no accommodation for such a purpose.
I have the honour, to be,
Sir,
The Honourable W. H. MARSH,
Colonial Secretary,
Sc., &c.,
Your most obedient Servant,
M. S. TONNOCHY, Superintendent.
