THE GAOL.
j To the Editor of the Event net Star . | Sir,— I observes notice inMonday’s Times > wh’ch proves conclusively that wo phjlanj throphists have no longer an opportunity for ' showing our love for the “poor and needy.’’ j The Government has provided an asylum for j them in the gaol. There they can (if they will only have the heart to become criminals) l be fed, lodged, clo'hed, and washed, they will be moderately worked and furnished with crumbs of spiritual comfort and tobacco. Doubtless beer will shortly be added, and arrangements be made for converting the different detachments of prisoners into pic-nic parties. “It is considered necessary" to supply men like Garrett. Sullivan, the Poverty Bay murderers, and others, from the gicatest swindler to the bmtes who nearly kicked a constable to death, with tobacco ! Heaven save the mark ! Oh gaol, where is thy sting'! oh police, whepo is ifty victory.—Yours, &c., Kapuka.
