"Sixteenth Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 1886-87; Copy of Reports of Inspection of Children sent out to Canada, as of February 12, 1887.

Report of Mr. Samuel Gardner, Government Immigration Agent at St. John, New Brunswick.

William Vincent, aged 18. From Barton Regis Union. Placed with Mr. David Mills, Toolston, Kars, King's County.?I visited William Vincent, who is still with William Mills, Toolston, Kars, King's County, N.B., found him a hale, hearty, healthy fellow, good character, behaves well. He is now a practical farmer, is treated as one of Mr. Mills's family, and, living on the banks of the river, is a good boatman. He can adapt himself to everything, a willing worker, he likes his position very much, has a good name, he is able to take care of himself, will work his way up and feels so."
