The Ditch and Roof Salt we began in August
last —
In the winter when the weather permitts they
work from 1/2 past 8 till 2 or 3. They are allowed
1/2 an hour to breakfast. At present
they work from 7 to 12; and from 1 to 6.
In summer they will work later.
I have no advantage from their labour,
I think the men don't do so much as Common
Labourers, but as much as a labourer employ'd
upon the Roads. I think they can't do so much
as they might if they were not chained.
In their first coming a board their depression
of spirit was astonishing: they had
a great dread of their punishment. I encouraged
them to do their duty without being shamed:
by they made a bad use of it.
Their sadness and depression of spirit
made it almost fatal to them. I thought that
holding out hopes of pardon to them might have
a good effect, and I recommended five of them
to the Secretary of State and he pardoned them.
I found they worked more cheerfully after that,
and from time to time those I thought well
deserving I recommended to the Secretary os State.
60 have been pardoned, and none have returned, except
Barrington and another.
