A letter from the Horn, OfflOS war read with
referent* to & pension being granted Mr. Good, lately
the surgeon of the Dorchester Prison. The Home
OfSos Authorities declined to give any pension at CU,
but if the county liked to give a pension, they would
unction it. so long es the county paid for it.
Mr. H. B. MIDDLETON said the Visiting Committee
met that morning, and they had given full attention to
the matter. On Mr. Good receiving a notice that the
Home Offios would not many amount of the pension,
be had left it in the hands of the Visiting Committee,
and asked him to recommend him for a pension to the
Court of Quarter Sessions. The committee had
determined to reeommend that the Court should
grant him a pension to the amount of two-thirds of his
salary, as had been the custom with other officer. of the
Prison. Hs would therefore give notine to move at
the Epiphany Sessions, that they should grant a
passion to that amount.
