The .' office of Master 'of''the Benevolent Home in the Ohiro lload is no sinecure at times] Questions of discipline are, continually arising, and it '-is no easy matter to deal with a fractious .inmate who has made up'his or (frequently) her mind to "kick over tlio. traces." The last resort is expulsion, absolute and final? ; At yestorday]s meeting of the' Benevolent Trhstees . the Master reported ' that 'one of, tho inmates, inspired no doubt by the influence of tho festive season, had set-'tho .rules of the institution at naught-,'and become a law unto himself.. ' He smoked in bed, invited his less hardy companions' to do likewiso, arid, wliibh was infinitely worse, used language that, was "frequent and painful and free." Tho testimony of his outraged fellows was to tbo effect that lie "swore' worse than they did iri 'thc Army." The strenuous vernacular'of tho diggings was hopelessly outclassed. One of the witnesses affirmed that tho same language, used in the public street, would have resulted-in at least, three months' imprisonment. It- was stated that the'offender was awaiting the arrival .of ' an 'artificial- leg, which] was being specially made for him, the' cost having boon largely borne by the Trustfan. Following 'upon the attaclimont of .the limb, it was understood that the recipient would find einployhient. The Trustees -decided to take drastic action ill tho matter. "The moment ho cots his leg," said Mr. Robertson, "off ho izocs to work."
