There are sixteen solitary cells, and two large rooms for those condemned to hard labour--one for females and the other for males.

There were at that time seven in the solitary cells, and twenty-four employed in labor on the roads.

This is more than usual.

The average number is twenty in all.
When it is considered that most of the commitments are for trivial offences, and that the district contains thirteen thousand apprentices, certainly we have grounds to conclude that the state of morals in Barbadoes is decidedly superior to that in our own country.
The whole police force for this district is composed of seventeen horsemen, four footmen, a sergeant, and the keeper.

It was formerly greater but has been reduced within the past year.
The keeper informed us that he found the apprentices, placed under his care, very easily controlled.
