To Sir James Graham, from Earl de Grey at Dublin:

18 Jan 1842

From: 1842 To: 1842

Refers doubts of Henry Goulborn (then Chancellor of Exchequer) regarding expediency of laying out any public money on Smithfield prison to Major Palmer, Inspector General. Knows difficulties regarding money. Gaol at Kilmainham is "the County gaol (sic) and is often most inconveniently full. So much so, the extra Turnkeys maintained by the Government for the security of the Convict Branch, are not able to sleep there". "The Smithfield prison is ours, and at present perfectly useless".
