• ney in Newgate. When
be came here got a' straw
pallet, sheets, and blankets.*
The diet at first was a pint of small beer and some
bread for breakfast : the class of prisoners he be- *
longed to got the same. Their dinner was gene-
rally some treth beef and some mutton :- they pro.
vided something more for themselves. •
They prop.',sed to Dann, the Gaoler, to give them
a-joint of Meat three days in the week. Donn said
he ../oulci, if Dr. Trevor approved
.of it ; out 1)r.
,Trevor did not agree to it.
.The necessary r,,ey had;
was a nsicket in their cell. - !Acv the meals at'
some times scanty, at others enough.
Conceives he is entitled to a guin-a'a week for the
enne,he was in Ne.i.vgate." Has not used the G.iol
alicitviinoe.of meat for the three last tt:eeks, because
he would not :tit at the table with people who were
disorderly ; and he and eiglit''ot hers have their ott n
vOuals in their own room. SornetimeS goo] tneat,
sometimes scanty ; sometimes very. bad at the ia.ce

beef that he ct,Uld not eat. - . .
Thinks Ole prisoners are not. treated com`fortally
with respea to their food. .Has b. en at the table,

has seen a good
_piece of beef sb cut as to be offensive.
Saw at different times the" mutt unsound, and. no-
thing brought iu :its place."
The class to. • which he belongs, he heard, Were
at -first' provided v. !;.:: tea, and a good breaktast ; hien
they got bread and r, of which they complained;
and now they irate bread and milk, which is %cry
good.

Has had lit-tie communication with Dr. Tn.vor or

poled to answer fur the breakfast. He complained
whole of their class. to Dr. Trevor that beer. did
not agree with him ; but
Dr. Trevor told him, that

if he complained he would
T:Anove him to the other

side of tl* Gaol.

The candle-light iesufficient, and so was the fire
—last week the fire was knocked otf the comnion
hall ; one fire is mecessary, k a. prisoner was ill, to
warns his drink.

Meat of the worst quality was given. to, them, and
when they sent it back they got no more till next
day—often did not get enough-to eat.
['ne people think it odd that there shoulclbesuch
distinction between the Fi•st and' Second Class.
Michael Dalton says he_ was afraid to complain,
as Dr. Trevor, charged him. with w ritivg a lake let-
ter to Colonel Woke, mkrepresenting the treatment
of the prisoners. They now get iniik and bread for
breakfast';--their class had at first tea for bre..akfast.
-=They have less cause of complaint now than at
Christmas. The diet-is bad ; fresh beef, and 'once
a.:veek mutton. The vegetables very' scanty.
They desire to 'be put on the first atl6Wance of tea,
bread, and • butter for •breakfast. They were very
comfortable in the situation they, vt ere placed at
first.

Mi,:hael 'Dalton says, if, their tables or messes
were separated, and more candle-light allowed, they
. • would be much more com-
fortable. .
