INTELLIGENCE "EXTRAORDINARY."

ESCAPE OF GAURETT, THE BUSHRANGER.

Many of our roadors will remomber Garrolt tho highwayman, who was convicted of robbory under arms about thrco years ago, and sontenced to (wo think) six years' penal sorvitudo. Ever Binco his incarceration, until a fow days ago, Garrett has determinedly refused to work, and resisted all efforts to induco him to becomo traotablo. Sallon nnd morose, cschowing tho association of other prlsonorw, and uncivil to evory ono who visited him, from the judge downwards, this determined man has for three yeara passed his captivity. Garrolt in getting into years, and tho constant confinement nud want of oxcrefco havo worked their effect upon him until it hooame a mnttor of medical necessity that he

should bo compelled to work. His porsistent refusal rondorcd it necessary that ho should bo tried for insubordination, and ho was scntencod (o bo flogged. This at last broko down tho man's obstinacy, and ho promised to conduct himself in futuro according to tho rules of tho prison. Qarrett now works regularly with the other i/i'isoncrs on Hell Hill. Ono of his reasons for previously objecting to work was that ho should havo to bo near a prisoner between whom and himself a feud existed. This man has since been discharged, having completed his sonteuco. — Evening Star (Dunedin), Oct. 20.
