stairs leading up to the dock, from which the stench finds
its way into the court every time the door is opened. At
the same time Dr. Smiles cannot express too strongly his
opinion that the rooms and cells are entirely unfit 'for the
reception of prisoners and the officers in attendance upon
them during the trials. The large room in which the
women are kept, containing a water-closet, is a mere vault
lighted by gas, without any windows or openings to admit
fresh air, and becomes most offensive. The cells also do
not receive sufficient air, as the windows in the passage are
obliged to be kept ehttt,—W. Bruaxs M.D " -
