The tlisnstrous consequences of this state of things are very numerous and only a tiny examples are iven. Within the last few years sevora convicts lutve effected their e.~xt`n.pe from the prison. Some escapes hnve never been reported to the department at Ottawn. They have been generally due to the enreless- ness of officers! to the l meness in en- foreing regrulntmn~t and the flu-ilities ufforded to the eonvivts for esen.pinz. 'l`he last escape of two convicts in He- eember, 1896. (Myers nnd l\lae.don~tld) was referred to the eommissioner-a to in- veetigate and uptm a careful enquiry into the inets. they came to the eonelu- sion that the convicts eould not have effected their esenpe as they did but for the fneilities afforded. one mi ht any provided, theuhthro h the cure essness und gross negteet, of uty of the deputy warden. In some eases where prisoners have escaped. guards and keepers have been dismissed in consequence, but the eotnmissioners have reason to believe that theme officers were sometimes the peapegontw for the neglect or miscon- duct of their superiors. Atnong the many instances o flttgrunt violalton of all prison disei rline which were brou li. - out in the evi enoe. was the faet t at eonvitzts bud frequently been taken out- side the prison walls for the convent- i once of the superior officers. either in the prison ate.-un yacht. or otherwise, resulting in one inatanee in two eon- victs being ntormhound and detained ell ni ht on on lslnnd in the lake under sutvei lanoe of a single unarmed guard. and in another instanee in two convicts secret} themselves in the steam yacht. and Inn inc their escape with it to United States territory. Some of these occurrences it is true. took place three or four years ago, but are now referred to because some of the officers impli- cated still hold the same positions they then held in the prison.

The oommiasioners understand that it has been decided by the department to discontinue furnishing officers` houses. and in View of what is disclosed by file No. 126 of 1895 of the penitentiary branch of the department of justice, the public accounts and the evidence of Wm. M. Drennan and the statements of accounts filed, the decision has not been reached any too soon. The facts connet-.ted with the furnishing in 1885 and the dismantling ten years` later of the warden's residence are briefly as fol- lows :-l)uring these years there was ex- pended for furniture. carpets, curtains. gas and electric Ii ht fixtures, etc.,over three thousand do lars. At`! these oods purchased for this money excepting some of the gas and elcotriu lixtures have disap )e.-tred from the residence and prison, am all the government has re- ceived in return is two hundred and thirteen dollars. The documents filed show that pursuant to the requcst of the then warden, an official was sent from Ottawa for the express purpose of valuing the property of the govern- ment then in the revitlence with avieu to its purohase lay the warden. Onlya portion of the property referred to \\'n.~t valued, and this at such ridiculouslv low figures as to Indicate the bad faith on the part of all connected uith the transaction.
