WXAMINER,

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL DEPART ME iT AL REPORTS. JUSTICS.

Tas principal feature in the report of the Minister of Justice is the report ef the [n-| specter of Penitertiaries. From this re- port, it appears that the total number ef | convicts in the different penitentiaries on| the 30th Jane, 1873, was 1,159 ; from that | daie to the Ist of July, 1879, 568 were re | ceived, making a total of 1,727, leaving 1,318; an increase of 159 over the preceding | year. Wantef employment is given asa) reason fer the increased number of convic-| tions ; and the hope is expressed that with | returning prospericy the number ef offen- vas committed in consequence of hard times |

The question of the em-;

will be reduced. pleyment of criminal labor is eonsidered, |

the Inspecter arguing that much more of | by the Gx overnment |

The con-

the materials required } might be made by convict labor. victs themselves are anxious to learn trades, | and the Wardens are able to hold out em- | ployment of this kind as a reward for good | beliavior. The Inspector does not sympathise | in the sentimental objections raised against the employment of canyict labor, believing that onal institations should be made as self-supperting as possible, and that in any event were these prisoners free subjacts, they would or ought to be engaged in use- ful occupations. As to prison discipline, the opinion is expressed that prisoners should be well fed, strictly guarded, taught

useful trades,

to wore ind ust iously at

gious instruction, should be rigidly separat- by night, and that their

another or to strengthen

corrupt er idle conversations. tor believes that the objects sought to be attained, viz., t)e reformation of the crim- inal and the protection of seciety, can be secured without the exercise of undue severity. He strongly advocates the estab- lishment of a society to look after prison- ers when discharged from prison. {NLAND REVENUE.

The. report of the Minister of Inland

Revenné shows the Revenue for 1879 to

have been as follows:

as against 35,185,710 in 1878, an increase of $401,973, or about 7 per cent. There was an increase in excise ef $520,122, but adecreass in other items. The quantity ef spirits taken for consumption during the past year is yreater by 638,535 gallons, or 2i4 per cant. than the quantity taken in 1878, and greater by 473,587 gallons, or nearly 15 per cent. than the average quan- tity. taken during four preceding years. Illicit distillation is said to be still prac- ticed, though less than in

I will only refer brietly to ene part of his article ; viz, the sugar question —which comes more particularly within my own knowledge. Mr. Fall says :—‘‘If, in 1878, we imported 100 tons of granulated sugar, that weuld be entered on the Revenue returas as worth about $110 per ten, amounting to $1,100 which was the price paid for it in Bostor. Now the priee paid this year from Redpath’s mill was about S180 per ton, smounting te $15, 000" ({ presume this is a mere typo; graph- ical error, and should read $1,800), ‘* making |
