Note to p. 3

(a) The Ju Mr Chapple, Keeper of the New Prison
Letter dated 5th Feby 1802. In less than a year and a half
ending that day, out of 10 Convicts whom he had brought
there, "6 dead, the other four looking very poorly".+
It is on that occasion, that he learns what in regard to the whole
number confined in that same Hulk, he learns what is maintained
by Sir Henry Mildmay and Mr Neald:II— upon
the whole Out of 500, living at the commencement of the 1801 the year 1801 deaths 120, at the end of it.

The survivors, upon his enquiry, say they are "half
"-starved": appearances speak the same thing:—Officers
plump and rozy. Would this be the case, if mere
pestilence without famine were the cause?—The question
is not mine: to the humane and intelligent informer
belongs the credit of it.
