This was done as fast as tho names
wcio called and in a very fow minutes
tho whole wcro locked up for tho
night.
Each cell conthiuc two hnnmmocks
which are rolled up during the day
time and fastened to iron hooks let
in to the wall. At night these are
unrolled and hung from end to end
of the cell. These is just room for
these two lmnnnnocks sido by sido
nnd there is no other furniture in tho
cell. Tho walls of tho cell arc white

shut not a ray of light culcis. Re
fractory prisoneis are placed in these
for so nionyiliotus.'ata time as a
punishment.
Next to these is tho bread-room
where the biscuit is stoicd ; nnd next
again is tha poi roqmj of this about

The corridor under tho tiomon's

cell in which those condemned to bo
hung tuc kept the night picvlous to
their execution. Tho door is ono
tho bell by whoso sound tho vigilance
of tho guards is mado known and the
life of the inmates regulated.
Outsido the prison o'ro tho grounds

the caro and taste of Mr Buckle's
family. Oil holidays the piisoncrs
