we remained several weeks investigating. | LOCAL AND GÈNERAL.

We found only one thing to complain of- the place was not big enough to

hold us. Some people, of course, want the earth; we would be satisfied with a comparatively small portion; but the present gaol, is too limited. There was absolutely no facility for taking riding exercise, and what we missed most of all was the Treadmill. From flong experienes we can assure the Colonial Office that no such Institution is complete without a Mill. Nor is there is swimming bath, which is a defect likely to ruin the business of any house, and we found a great deficiency in the accommodation for receiving afternoon calls. The bar-boy refuses to take chits, and if you hurt him you get three days" bread and water for Insubordination. Since we last came out we got even with that bar-boy. He went to Kowloon city for a gamble, and we denounced him as a pirate, and he is now gone to eternal fire and brimstone: Let his end be a warning!
