Report of Mr. Samuel Gardner, Government Immigration Agent at St. John, New Brunswick.
Alfred Kempsford, aged 17. From Barton Regis Union. Placed with Peter Leddingham, Stonehaven, Victoria County.?Mr. Leddingham reports him hard to manage, gets sulky, and in this mood won't work; was going to turn him off but thought he would try correction; done so to let him know he was his master and not the boy ; it had its effect: he does his work, but is very slow. Very little life in him. This lad has a good home and he knows it. Mr. Leddingham is a splendid fellow and, if anything in the lad, he would make a man of him."
