Invite his opinion as to how much of the old jail should be retained, giving him the substance without stating preferences. Mr. Price's views on which site Mr. Price prefers.

And ask him for a report on how the Public Works of the colony are in the course of construction, telling him that work already in hand should not be delayed by taking on new works without sufficient staff to carry them out.

CPL. Conf. 4. Aug.

P.S. The plans which I sent to Mr. Price have gone astray in the post but I hope will return shortly.

Gw GWR Linge

This so far clears the ground. I think we may dismiss the consideration of other sites for a jail than the present site Stone Cutters Island.

I agree with Mr. Lucas that if a new jail is built on the better site, the present jail should be used, as suggested by Capt. O'Brien who has just gone into the matter.

I think so much of it as is in a fair condition should be left. Therefore, it should be retained, and used for short-sentenced prisoners and not for long-sentenced prisoners during the first period by their sentence.

I would suggest that before considering Mr. Price's plan, Lord Kimberley would wish for fuller and more recent information as to the amount of prison accommodation required.

I am not at present satisfied that so large a number of cells need to be provided.

This question has been hanging on for a very long time but it is too much to attempt to make a decision without more information. Mr. Price does not mention the old prison at Stone Cutters Island.
