PRISON REFORM.
We are inclined to think that Dr. Findlay, in his zeal for the reform of the criminal, rather exaggerates the hardships which our criminals hare to endure. The “bare, unattractive cell’’ which he describes is certainly a far more healthy and comfortable abode than many honest men have to put up with outside of gaol, and there is always a danger of pampering the prof'esional criminal by providing it-oo carefully for his personal comforts. But with tliis proviso, with regard to Dr. Findlay’s complaints upon our penal system as eminently sound and rational, and we hope that Parliament and Government will give them due attention during the coming session.— “Auckland Star.” <
