Report of Mr. John Smith, Government Immigration Agent at Hamilton, Ontario.

James Matthews, aged 11, from parish of Liverpool, placed with Sisters of St. Joseph, St. Catherine's, Ontario. Placed with Michael Hannon, near St. Catherine's, a good home; the lad has been a great source of trouble, being disobedient, stubborn, nnd untruthful; goe3 to church, Sunday school, and day school in winter. A slight improvement is now taking place in his character."
