PATE.

TO THE EDITOR OP TEE axrans.

Suit,—l beg to forward you a statement of facts
respecting the most extraordinary treatment of the
miscreant, Robert Pate, c3rvicted of .hiking the
Queen, since his admission to the Milbank Prison,
till his clandestine removal on Monday lad to the
William Jardine, convict-ship, at Portsmouth, about
to sail with convicts to Norfolk Island and Australia.

sertion in the columns of your paper. I enclose my
name and address.

manner, not GOOD the reception warder Ming allowed to be

in charge of him.
I think the country has a right to know why the rules of
the prison are violated in this man's case. Is it because he
belonged to the Junior United &nice Club, to which Cap-
tain Groves belongs ? If so, further comment is unravels.

meted taut to the soldier who was sentenced to seven years'
transportation for striking a ampoommissioned antler, and
sent to the Milbank Prison on the Name day with It .bert
Pate for striking her Majesty; sad also whether Robert
