We were told that the building of this chapel was first suggested by the apprentices, and as soon as permission was obtained, they commenced the preparations for its erection.

We record this as a delightful _sign of the times_.
On our return to Morant Bay, we visited the house of correction, situated near the village.

This is the only "institution," as a Kingston paper gravely terms it, of the kind in the parish.

It is a small, ill-constructed establishment, horribly filthy, more like a receptacle for wild beasts than human beings.

There is a treadmill connected with it, made to _accommodate_ fifteen persons at a time.
