If thereis really overoruwd ing in the Gaol, I would willingly vote not $10,000 but $20,000 or $30,000 for the extension of the gaol, but sortainly at a penny for the building of a new Gaol. The extension if carried out na originally proposed, not as the late Sur Teyor-General made out, could be done very essity for $20,000 or 830,000.
