Col.
19,
jittiriwi:—(a) County of Antrim gaol is not yet fjnished agreeable to this return, but the additions thereto will be executed at or before the Lent Assizes next.
See in Appendix A, the remarks on the regulations prescribed by Act 50 Geo.
III.
c.
103, s.
69.
From the said regulations there has been no deviation in 1818.
(6) Dimensions ofthe gaol; length 9 feet 8 by 17 feet 2, with one door and one wmdow.
The gaoler's house is 10 feet by 16 feet, with one door and one window.
It is a most miserable place of confinement.
OBSERVATIONS.
/Irmag/i:—(c) An addition to the gaol is in considerable forwardness; when this addition is completed, many if not all of the defects in the present state of the gaol, will, it is hoped, be remedied.
The 17 regulations of 50 Geo.
III.
c.
103,
are the slanding rules of the gaol, and from them no remarkable deviation has occurred.
On one occasion the gaoler, 011 bis own authority, confined two or three of the criminals in the dungeon of the gaol, having found them, when about to lock them up for the night, with their bolts removed, and being appreheusrve of an attempt to escape.
