patients in state hospitals for insane

vestigation, and in view of this a
resolution Introduced might not be

Charges with reference to the con-
duct at the penitentiary are the OPP

alive to the hospitals for insane. In
stead of cruelty being alleged, len
iency is said to prevail in too great
an extent in treatment of criminals

GERS in the process of landing them
behind the bars.
The committee investigating the
hospitals for insane consists solely
of members of the house of repre-
