The Keeper of the bookshop has not yet been paid his balance; he has been continually asking for it, only yesterday he asked me to pay him. The amount due to him is upwards of $190. The Colonial Secretary and Attorney General came to this prison and questioned me on the above subjects. Mr. Mitchell and the present Sheriffs, Mr. Mary, with the Rev.

I repeated just to them what I had told the others, and what I have said today. Mr. Mitchell examined me from the contents of a paper which, I was informed, came from Mr. Mercer, the Colonial Secretary, and I believe that what that paper contained I said. They did not inform me...
