THE CONVICT HALL.
I The following is telegraphed to the v Gtago Daily Times " by its Auokland > dorresjlondent :— By far the most m terefcting prisoner detained wilhin the walls of Mount Eden Gaol is the prisoner Thomas Hall, flia : quick, intelligent jglanoe, and the habitual look of hopelees woe-J-indetorlbably hopeless woe — on his .face at once interest the moat casual observer. Thoße who have come m contact with him m prison believe that he will not long survive. He is a perfect martyr to asthma, which very muoh interferes with his rest. Already the oonviot haaVdeyeloped into an "old soldier," aud i [has various little tricks for attempting to ''Soamp" his allotted task. He complains that he han fewer privileges than were allowed to him while at Lyttelton, aud seems to think that a person .of his apoial position should be allowed a greater latitude than the common herd. He is tllowcTd to recqjvd letfjerp from his relatives once every three months, and I understand that bath his wife and his aged mother have written to him.
