Carpenters shed and other Buildings, was valued by Mr
Willock the Auctioneer at £2,000; but, having been put up
to Auction in June 1797 met with no purchaser at that price.

and other Animals unfit for Food. It is bounded on one part by No 1 (the 2 Acre Piece) a great part of which is occupied

answer the purpose of the Temporary Penitentiary House, but,
