RETURN of the Number of Persons confined in the different Gaols of Great Britain for Offences against the Game Laws, specifying where any of the Persons so confined have been put on the Tread-Wheel, and by what Authority the same has been done. It appears, by returns from the several gaols of Great Britain, that the number of prisoners confined therein, on the 24th of February, 1825, for offences against the game laws, was 581; of whom none had been put on the tread-wheel, except in the following instances :— GAOLS. Copies of all Reports transmitted to the Secretary of State, pursuant to the 24th Section of the 4th Geo. IV., c. 64, for consolidating and amending the Laws relating to the building, repairing, and regulating of certain Gaols and Houses of Correction in England and Wales. No. 1.-COUNTY OF ANGLESEY. Michaelmas quarter sessions, 1824. To the justices in quarter session assembled. WE, the visitors of the county gaol, beg to repeat the sentiments expressed in our former reports, with respect to the state of the gaol buildings. With reference to the act 5 Geo. IV., c. 85, s. 11, we beg to state our opinion that a prison, with accommodation for six classes of prisoners, would be amply sufficient for the county of Anglesey, and that the number of classes cannot with propriety be reduced lower than five. All the prisoners now in confinement are furnished with employment, in shattering stone, or in spinning, as means of supporting themselves; and those who have been sentenced to hard labour are compelled to do so. The system of employing the prisoners occasioning much additional trouble to the gaoler, in keeping the accounts and measuring the work executed, we beg to submit to you the justice of increasing his salary.

At a general quarter session of the peace of oar sovereign lord the king, holden at Bedford, in and for the county of Bedford, on Wednesday, in the first week after the eleventh day of October (that is to say), the twentieth day of October, in the fifth year of the reign of our sovereign lord George the Fourth, by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, king, defender of the faith, and in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenty-four; before the right honourable Thomas Philip Weddell lord Grantham, chairman, Francis Russell, commonly called Marquess of Tavistock, William Henry Whitbread, Thomas Potter Macqueen, Samuel Crawley, Stephen Thornton, Justinian Alston, John Lee, John Higgins, Thomas Charles Higgins, John Foster, esquires, Robert Moore, doctor in divinity, Philip Hunt, clerk, doctor of laws, James Webster, William Pierce, Nethersole Vere, John Alston, John Hull, James Beard, William Bruton Wroth, Edmund Burke Lewis, Thomas Barber, George Owsley Fenwick, clerks, and others their fellows, justices of our said lord the king, assigned to keep the peace in the said county, and also to hear and determine divers That a new ward in the gaol, containing two finement of female debtors, apart from other bed-rooms, a day-room, and a yard for the conof the visiting justices, by Mr. Wing, the oriprisoners, is now erecting, under the inspection ginal architect and builder of the county gaol. That it is so constructed as to meet the in tentions of the act of parliament which required its erection, and that it does not disturb the arrangement of the other parts of the prison. That in the new house of correction rooms have been annexed to the shed containing the tread-mill, in order to protect the prisoners from the cold air and rainy weather during the intervals of rest from work. That a receiving-room and lazaretto-ward have also been added to the new house of correction, and an apartment for the residence of the turnkey, who acts as miller; a store-room for the clothes, shoes, and other prison articles of consumption, has also been added to the new house of correction. That no further additions nor alterations seem now to be required in any of the county prisons. That the whole of the buildings are in good repair, and that the interior apartments, the cells, mill-houses, laundries, and machinery, are in perfect order. That the gaol and both houses of correction have been well managed. That the chaplain and surgeon have discharged their duties with exemplary regularity. That the visiting justices have visited and inspected all the prisons at least once in every week, and that they have the satisfaction of being able to report favourably of the general state and conduct of the prisoners. That they have observed no abuse in the administration of the prisons, and that they have not been informed of any abuses. That the attention of the visiting justices has been directed to a supposed tendency in treadwheel labour to produce varicose swellings of the veins of the legs of prisoners so employed. They therefore ordered that the surgeon, and the keepers of the two houses of correction, should carefully examine the legs of all prisoners sentenced to hard labour; and that all prisoners so affected should be excluded from the treadwheel, and be set to work at the hand crankmill. But, as far as the observation of three months in both prisons extended, no such affection of the veins of the legs appeared to have |
