beyond the limits, which were then a
mile every way from the Jail. the debt
would be paid. The further end of the
wall Was - mile from the Jail and as far
as they could go without making their
bondsmen liable. Deacon Kenney paid
them l212 cents day each for the work
The first Jail yard was laid out by the
court on Newfane hill at November
term, l1N>, TO extend four rods south
of the South end of the Gaol, and ten
rods west of the west side of the Gaol
and extended ten rods east, the said
lines to close and be at right angles
with the privilege of going on Sundays
only in a direct course to the court
house to attend public worship. When
the shire was located at Newfane the
