Df- IO The English Convict System is prcfbably but for the obscurity in which it is purposely involved, I might say, certainly a failure, though the convicts cost 35 a head per annum. The I rish Convict System is proved-to be a complete success, though the convicts cost only 24 63. a head per annum. This statement is my apology for writing the following pamphlet. 5, Stonbleioh Terrace, Coventry, A pril 26, 1862.
