In a recent debate in the Legislative Council on the Employment of Females and Others Hill, Captain Fiaser said he had been told that last session three boys employed in tin: (Ji)verniiifiit Printing Oliiee had been sent to the hospital, and that two would never leave it. Later on he said : " I will tell honorable members what I think true sympathy is. Last session a boy came up here from the Printing Office with a white face and large eyes. I asked him what was the matter with him, and he said consump tion. The fact was, he was on the road to the grave. After the session the Hon. Mr Campbell took the boy with him down to Otekaike. and there the influence of good food and fresh air was such that the boy has now come back here with color in his cheeks and several inches taller. This is true sympathy; but I call this Bill so much dry bones."
