The quantity of stone broken was very small indeed for that number; the stone available, however, was large, and required considerable labour to break it as necessary for our roads. The value of this labour is estimated at £120.
Cooks and water carriers amounted to £3,650 more, expressing a value of work if performed by free labour, equal to £71.17.4.
Picking Oakum: 5,698 — £2.2.0
Carpenters and Blacksmiths: both @ 1:2
Breaking Stones (as above): £47.8.10
£30.44.0
£120.0.0
Total: £369.10.10
So that not less than 21,794 men have been kept to hard labour within the Gaol. The class of men confined for simple imprisonment, debt, those on the Tread Wheel, and the sick, amount to 19,339, from whom no effective labour whatever has been derived.

The total value of labour performed by convicts, as performed by Civility, in:
| Location | Value |
|---|---|
| Outside the Gaol | £311.10.4 |
| Within the Gaol | £369.10.4 |
| Total | £681.1.4 |
The duties of the Department, when not in attendance upon me surveying, in other occupations, have had their labour turned to account as follows: planting trees (11,948), Supervision of Public Works under Contract or otherwise (286 days), repairing roads (20 days), clearing drains, etc. (1,658 days), and Sundry Services (18 days), all of which work would otherwise have been obliged to be paid for, and consequently it may be presumed they have earned the value of their wages, which amount to £27.10. per annum.
