Prisoners in the sick list, suffering only from sore legs. I find that ventilation to a certain extent has been effected to the Prisons by authority of Sir John Davis on the 30th September last, at a cost of £63. 15- (to be charged to Report and Estimate - XCR(85)72, 12.4 of 1847). This has been a great improvement, but more ventilation is still required in Gaol. A... is the Prison in which the bulk of the Prisoners are confined, and the new apertures that have been directed to be made by my order will, I trust, prove sufficient for useful purposes.

The Plan of Lieutenant-Colonel Sebb proposes separate sleeping cells to be erected in Gaol A, but neither myself nor my Council consider such a measure at all suited to this climate. Indeed, I feel assured that it could not be carried out without great risk to the health of the Prisoners, though it may be admirably adapted for European climates.

The completion of the Prison Walls since Sir John Davis's despatch 12.95 of the 14 September last, has rendered the Gaols perfectly secure. All the Prisoners are now enabled during the day time to go into the yard to wash themselves, and for other purposes; and those who are not at public work, are permitted to move about and take exercise therein.

I may here remark that when the weather permits, three fourths of the Prisoners are out of the Gaol engaged on the Roads or Public works. They leave at 6 o'clock in the morning, and return at the same hour in the evening, having their Breakfast and Dinner sent to them at the work.
