Dr. Findlay’s scheme of prison reform W3S decided upon by the Government-to-day, when a site for a proposed reformatory prison was adopted.

The new site is near Te Kuiti. and adjoins ail area which has been favorably spoken of as suitable for a central Me,ntaf Hospital. The area is Crown land, and consists of about 1000 acres.
