The Hon. Mr Hoilnran lecturing bofore the Royal Society, outlined important prison reforms, and said that if it were found that hard 1 labour and the present diet were inadequate for a strong man, they would be altered. Consumptive prisoners would receive outdoor, scientific treatment. In order that prisoners' wives and families might not suffer, they would bo compelled to do remunerative work, and thus repair a. wrong done to society. He would introduce as an experiment afforestation by ex-pri-soners as it was done in Now Zealand where it had proved highly successful. Ho intended to establish i'roe camps, conducted by the Government, whore released men could go straight from gaol and earn eight shillings a. day. Tin's would do wonders to complete the reformatory system.
