lately under sentence of death. I consider that the gaol diet is already too abundant: and I have been trying to get it reduced. Certainly, if I had been consulted in the case of the convict in question, I should not have advised any improvement of diet, especially such as I witnessed myself in their case. This was in March and April last.
Every day, between four and five o'clock I used to see men going up to the gaol loaded with trays of all the delicacies of the season, such as I never saw in this gaol, nor indeed in any eating house here. These were for the Convicts.
Once I was going my rounds with McKenzie the gaoler, when I came upon the five prisoners lying in their blankets, with their feet secured, and two policemen watching them. The prisoners were at their dinner. They had every kind of delicacy, oranges and fruits and tobacco. They were eating, drinking, and they laughed and enjoyed themselves much.
