MOUNT EDEN GAOL.
WELL-BEHAVED PRISONERS. [BY mT.GB.».rH.—SPECIAL COWIESTOKDENtf.] Wellington, Thursday, The conduct of the prisoners who were in Mount Eden gaol during the year 1913 is described as excellent in the report of the gaoler, Mr. Ironside, which was presented to Parliament to-day. "As a matter pf course," he states, "there have been exceptions, but. when it is seen that 2037 prisoners were dealt with during the year and that there were only 40 actual prninhmonts against 19 individuals, it' must I* admitted that the result is very satisfactory. Only six were aggravated offences. ' One prisoner was punished 13 times, being also convicted and warned several times. He positively refused to do any work or even take in his food and in consequence has to be kept altogether apart from other prisoners.'
