The fire had been bad during the evening and I reprimanded him for allowing it to be so. When I discovered that the fire was out at the time I have just mentioned, I gave him in charge of Mr. Muir. The fire is frequently bad in consequence of the prisoners neglect. The prisoner in his defence states - that he used every means to make the fire burn, but could not on account of the bad quality of the coals and the absence of wind. Sentenced to the gaol gang for 3 months
