we think this question of gang robberies requires careful' Investigation and we would suggest therefore that & Commission be appointed to go into the matter thoroughly and make its report to the Government with as little delay as possible. The statement in the Report concerning practically an appeal for the Intervention of the gang robberies is as follows:-

NOTES AND COMMENTS
THE GAOL REPORT.
In the last Issue of the Goperimmi Gazette
several of the departmental annual reports are published and a few of them are noteworthy, particularly so the reports of the Superintendent of Victoria Gaol and the Chief of Police In
a tabulated statement covering the last four years the Superintendent of the Gaol shows that the total number of prisoners in the institution In 1893 was 2,382; in 1894 (plague year), 2896; in 1895, 3:654; and in 1896 only 3,592. The daily average numbers for the four [789 years were respectively 458, 455, 472, and 514. The report, it is satisfactory to note, OF
shows a decrease in prison offences, the number for 1896 being 3.887 against 5365 In the previous year. Out of 5.58% admissions during the year no less than 668 were "old offenders," but the latter article is, we should say, one that is apt at times to be too readily manufactured; spanking on the subject with some knowledge of large centres of population. It is gratify ing, as Superintendent LETHBRIDGE ABYA, to note that there is a steady decrease in the list of long-sentence, prisoners, and the takings from labour in the prison returned the Government a profit of $2,684:48. Amongst the remunerative works carried on by prisoners in Victoria Gaol are oakum picking, colr manufactures, net making, talloring, printing, book-binding, shoe-making, washing, grass-matting, rattan work, ti-amithing and carpenter- ing, a number of these crafts being, according to the report, practiced in com- petition with free labour.
