with Michael Foran, farmer, P.O St Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec

Age 14, good home, employed at farm work, health good, attends church, no schooling, character good. This child is not satisfied with his place. He says that he is ill treated, very often beaten, and on one occasion lashed with a horse whip. Mr Foran admits the facts, and gives as an excuse that the whippings were to correct the boy. The child was very poorly clad. He should be removed.

Mr Robert, the agent notified 3/5/99

A second inspection of the boy was made on 13 October 1899 and Mr Regimbal reported as follows "I had a personal interview with the boy and his employer and find that there is any scarcely any improvement in the condition of the boy since my last report

May 3 1900

with Michael Foran, farmer, P.O Ste Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec

Age 15, good home, employed at farm work, good health, attends Roman Catholic Church, not school, character-not satisfactory
Terms-Board, Lodging and Clothing. Mrs Foran informs me that the lad is stubborn and cannot be depended upon. She would not say that he was honest and truthful. Mr Foran she states has to whip him sometimes, and the lad corroborates this. The boy says
that on one occasion Mr Foran whipped him with a horse whip, leaving marks on him. He will not mind Mr Foran. I was not particularly struck with the boys personal appearance. Jacob's seemed quite indifferent as to his remaining here

Mr Robert notified 3-5-99 (wondering if it should say 3 May 1900)

I am advised that this boy has since the date of my inspection been removed and placed with Felix McLinden, P.O Wilsons Corners, Lot 10 , Con. 12, Wright Twp, Province of Quebec
