The Storm repairs throughout the year have not been considerable, and I trust I shall be able to give the same account of the general stability of the works under my charge in my next annual Report.
The work executed by these Convicts has been of such a varied character during the past year that any general detail in this report is not requisite. Upon the work that was estimated and laid out for them in 1846 Report and Estimate M. 10, a very trifling amount of labour has been expended. They have however not been idle, as the general appearance of the streets and roads immediately adjoining the town shows sufficiently. In these works, they labour under considerable disadvantages from the heavy irons they are obliged to wear, and in comparison with other free Coolies, at the ordinary rates of the time they do work, as they are obliged to be within the precincts of the jail before it becomes dusk, to enable them to perform their necessary ablutions, etc., according to the Prison regulation; however, I find the work they perform is equal to five-sevenths of that of the free Coolie.
I may in general terms state the work performed has consisted entirely of repairs, with the exception of the formation of a pathway to the Middle Police Station, which was formed ten feet wide over rough ground for £27.19.2, or 1.9% per yard. Remodelling the old and disused road from the Barracks to the Albany Buildings to render the same available for the Rifle Regiment was formed throughout ten feet wide, 768 yards in length, and was estimated at £52.1.8, including rough stone drains and catchwater drains.
At the close of the year, they were employed upon the Queen's Road, altering the line and levels, as before alluded to by me; this service was...
