116 previous Paper.

Prison building accommodation can be obtained suitable for 679 short service prisoners; there is not however so great a necessity for it now.

Copy to Sen. Jordin aur CA 10 331 subsequent Paper. 70331

(Minutes.)

MiWingfield. Acc. to the Bluebook for 1885, an average of 530 prisoners gave only 262 feet of space to each prisoner during the hours of sleep, passages & corridors not included! The number of prisoners being 559, it is absurd to say the prison is not overcrowded. The power is directly the favour I hold as a check, the flagging of an argument against improving the accommodation. ? Send a copy of this
