• Notes

  Sent to Prison for being Sick John Clough was sent to the Berlin gaol six months ago by his hospitable friends in Galt because he was sick and poor and it was probably thought the easiest manner by which to get rid of him. We understand the the County Council are in the habit of voting $1000 to the Galt Hospital with the understanding that such patients as Clough be treated and cared for; hence the custom of sending sick patients to the gaol is not a commendable one on the part of the citizens of Galt, and our County Councillors will do well to remember these points next June when the usual grant is applied for. Clough, through the good treatment received at Gaol and the skill of a local physician left prison yesterday a cured man. Daily Telegraph 2 Feb 1892
