Report by Superintendent of Gaol.

LOS 23 MAY 81

The Gallows in use in this Gaol was simpler and less likely to get out of order than the one at Newgate.

They might will take copy of the patent having been designed and made in this Gaol when I was in charge of it in 1874.

The Surveyor General might be asked to give his opinion as to which is the less cumbersome plan.
