THE CONVICT WILLIAM ROUPELL.
A Weynioutli correspondent writes :• — “ William lion pell lias succeeded in obtaining a ticket-of-leave on account of bis good conduct. He will be greatly missed in the infirmary of the prison, for he has proved himself an excellent nurse, both kind and patient, and many dying and sick convicts have thanked him for his careful attention to them, During the past year upwards of twenty inquests have been held within the prison walls, and at most of these Eoupell has given evidence. For some time after he arrived on the heights of Portland he looked ill, but during the present year his health has appeard better, and since he cultivated, by permission, his beard and moustache, he has looked remarkably well, although his dark hair is well streaked with grey. Several times during the year his mother has visited him. The exact day of Roupell’s discharge from the prison has been purposely kept secret to save him from any unnecessary annoyance.”
