Report of the Prison Commission.

LONDON, Sept 30.-The prison COM
mission ers in their annual report just
presented take pains to vigorously
contradict the allegations made in this
country. and also in America by those
interested in the condition of the Irish
political prisoners, to the effect that
the English penal servitude system is
conducive to insanity. In speaking
of these charges the report says: The
allegation, as we understand it, is not
SO much that convicts go m mad-that is,
mad enough to be certified for Broad
moor-but that there is tendency to
mental degener alton as a conse equence
of penal sarvitude, and that existing
safeguards are no. sufficient to pro-
vide for the detection and bringing to
notice of symptoms of degeneracy or
incipient insanity. We are not able to
concur in the truth of these allega-
tiOns. We do not believe thas senten-
ces of penal servitude are conducive to
insanity or to mental degeneration"
