ESCAPED CONVICTS.
' '■♦ Tee police know of 247 New Caledonian escaped convicts m Australia, and suspect 146 more. Of the 247 known, 160 have since found their way into Australian gaoK New Zealand is not included m the return, although it is well known that there many escapees m Auckland. Let it be remembered that the number of convicts scut to New Caledonia has not been very large, and that none of them have been let loose on the islands. Problem : To find ont how many of the 60,000 to 80,000 whom the French Government propose to let loose m the Pacific will find their way to our shores, and how many will find their way to our gaols. This return should argue more eloquently and with greater force against the French proposals than scores of pages of elaborate reasons.
