OBSERVATIONS.
(d) The building consists of three rooms, capable of containing 24 persons, without any yard attached to either; from the present construction of this building, it would not be capable of affording accommodation for the establishment of labour.
(e) Prison is upwards 100 years built; has good water ; no yard, bath, or place for prisoners to work; is kept astonishingly clean for so bad a prison.
A plan of a new gaol has been approved.
(/) Prison or Bridewell, many years built; has good water; no yard, bath,
or place fnr prisoners to work.
Observations on the Regulations are in the Appendix C.
.DonegaZ.—(g)
The county gaol was built on the plan of the gaols erected in 1793.
The house is divided into 3 departments, viz.
one for the crown prisoners, one for debtors, and one for women.
In the crown halls, prisoners of every kind are confined together; this it is impossible to avoid.
The grand jury have granted 900i.
to build an addition to the gaol, which is not yet fimshed.
