A general system of instructing the males in useful trades is carried on—such as tailoring, shoemaking, clog making, smiths, painting and glazing, mat making, weaving and winding, sawing timber, &c.;
stone breaking is also, at particular periods, and with proper classification, attended to; some are employed whitewashing, cleaning prison, and cooking.
A tread-wheel is used for raising water for prison uses.
The prisoners are taught trades from commencement; in fact, a universal system of refor¬ matory discipline is to be seen in every class.
There is a regular schoolmaster who attends the various classes from 10 o'clock until noon.
All clothing, shoes, clogs, &c.
are made in the gaol by prisoners.
The female prisoners are instructed with equal care and attention, and perform all laundry work, &c.
Dietary.
The dietary consists of 8 oz.
oatmeal stirabout, and 1 pint of milk, half new, and half but¬ termilk, for breakfast, and one pound whole meal bread, with the same proportion of milk for dinner.
The prisoners take their meals in their cells.
Books and Accounts.
I spent a considerable time examining into every detail of this branch of the establishment, and found all the books remarkably well kept and creditable.
The checks placed upon the expenditure, particularly the receipts and issues of provisions by the Local Inspector are most judiciously arranged, the whole department affording me most perfect satisfaction.

, Hospitals.
The male and female hospitals are in different parts of the prison; that for females is attached to the female prison, whilst the male hospital, now used as such, is part of the old gaol, most inconveniently situated at the top of the prison, without a yard attached to it.
More upon this subject will be found in " General Observations."
Medicines are supplied by the Apothecary, who attends, regularly, and sees that the directions of the Surgeon are properly carried out.
