I Slone complained to me that Mr. Fitzgerald sad
others had bees to a public-house, and at that
time I knew he was under discipline, and con-
fined to bounds for • breach of the discipline
of the college. I had him before me, and gave him a lec-
ture. I told him that next to • charge of actual immora-
lity, the fact of being found I. a public-house was to my
mind one of the most grievous offences he could be guilty
of, and that in his case it was especially culpable, as he was
already under punishment, so that it involved the setting
at dam* the authority of the prefect. I punished
him and the others, confining them within bounds until
Easter. On Mooday the 27th, Mr. Fitzgerald came to me
and first reminded me that he had promised not to bring
any more complaints against his masters, because
he had made so many, but that he must then make
one against the prefect, He said the prefect had
feud him shooting is the phonetic's, and is the
altercation that ensued hawses them, the prefect
had called him • liar, and had threatened to box his ears.
I said I must hear the prefect's version of the story before
I made an? comment on it. I heard his statement the
following day, end sent for Mr. Fitzgerald in the evening,
and told him that although he had made only the lase
equivocation, that his equivocation, under the
circumstances, wee equivalent to a Ile. I made
no comment on the boxing of the ears, because
1 did not "be to lecture the prefect before a student,
but I referred to the complaints that had been brought
before me end his manifest desire to measure strength with
the sew prefect. I told him the authorities of the bona
must be upheld, and that such immbeedination
from • boy is his position must be visited
by the severest punishment I should therefore
do what I had never done before, degrade him to the
ranks altogether ; that he must walk in ranks sad study
in the gears' study place, and that I did not deprive
him of -his room and turn him into the dormitory be-
cause that would destroy entirely the object for which he
wits there. I slop told him that for the next affirm, I
Mould send him away and not inflict punishment for
sad that I should at care write to his father
' to sequaint him with the state of affairs, because his next
offence would certainly be visited with expehrioa—with
being mot away. We then left the room together because
the bell for night prayers had rung, and on our way I
spoke to him not simply ere • ochooloarstes, but simple as
his father and a friend. I pointed out to him that
his pride and conceit had constantly brought him into
trouble, and that I knew bow keenly he would feel the
degradation I bad just put upm him, but that humiliations
were often the means of producing humility, and that the
next day being Ash Wednesday, I hoped he would re-
ceive the punishment in the spirit I had given it to
him From his manner I hoped that I had made
preventable impression on him. He did not say be sbou'd

arose from his temper. He used to make the
same complaints against all the inesters. I saw
him spin after prayers. He came to me and sand me not
to write to his father. I explained to him the necessity
there was for my doing an. I said I had never written &ey-
eing to his father bat good reports of him, and that if I
sent him home, as I certainly should for hie next
offence (if he committed one), his father might
justly complain of me foe want of c-inside-
ration. He would think that I had lost my
temp tr, and inflicted a harsh senteoce for one offence, when
in fact the offence was an accumulation of offences. He
told me I need not fear, for he would commit no fresh
