Crit. Jur. Crim. Account of the working Convict.

Mr Campbell is thinking of some employment for bad
weather when it is impossible to leave the ship, but nothing
can ever be done at night for fear of fire. The
Fires, of wood, picking of Oakum. kept burning all day & carried round to every

Provisions
3 Meals a day — Hot Rice for breakfast — ox cheek
1 lb. pr. man & a pound of bread for dinner — cheese & the
