Another inmate of Victoria Gaol made a bid for freedom ou 11th Nov. At about seven o'clock in the morning it was discovered that a China- man who was undergoing three months' impri- sonment was missing. A search which was at once institated disclosed the fact that prisoner had climbed over the west wall. He had evi. dently out himself with the glass with which the wall is surmounted, for there was a considerable quantity of blood about. Warder Hughes traced the man to a house in Stanton street. | The occupant denied any knowledge of the fugi. tive, but the warder insisted on entering and soon found his man hiding behind a bundle of straw. He was taken to the Police Station, tó- gether with his secreter, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, the other man being sen. tenced to 42 day's hard labour for his share in the business. Prisoner had cut his feet so badly on the glass that he had to be carried into the court in a chair.
