sixth, deprivation of correspondence,

This latter punishment, which may

passing the day from five q. m, to seven
p. M, alternately, sitting for fifteen
minutes, and walking for twenty min

bread and water, with soup once per
day. On the occasion of my visit there
were thirteen men sitting about one
ward apart from each other, in rows,
on square stools built of stone, with a
wooden top.
The punishment cells do not appear
to be such formidable affairs, having a
wooden bed fixed to the floor, bedding
being supplied at night. The floors
are of polished wood. BY an ingenious
arrangement, the amount Of light to
be admitted into the cell can be regu-

impossible to employ in the work

reduction of the original sentence.
