230 TRINIDAD. 



correctly informed two corporals and four constables allowed for 

 the service of the extensive county of St. Patrick. In case of 

 any disturbance at the Naparimas, the police force there 

 stationed would be totally inadequate, as has already been shown, 

 on occasion of a disturbance which took place between the 

 labourers on " Les Efforts " estate and the people of u Bushy 

 Park," a suburb of San Fernando.

Gaols. The gaol of Port of Spain is a handsome building, 

 and the establishment itself is conducted on excellent principles. 

 Prisoners are employed, within the court, in breaking stones, and 

 in other manual occupations ; and outside, in quarrying at the 

 Mora Forest, or in other public works. 



It may be divided into three different quarters viz., the 

 felons' and misdemeanants' quarter, the debtors' quarter, and the 

 lunatic asylum. The first quarter is itself subdivided into the 

 felons' and misdemeanants' wards, and that of those awaiting 

 their trial. Women are kept separate from men. The whole 

 establishment is placed under the able management of Mr. 

 Daniel Hart, the keeper, There are also, in the different districts, 

 depot prisons. It is in contemplation to build a prison in San 

 Fernando, to be conducted on the same plan as that of Port of 

 Spain. Should the financial position of the colony allow of such 

 a construction, it would be a very great improvement.
