From: 1832 To: 1832

Stephen Thornton, Philip Hunt, Frederick H Neve, Thomas Barber. 42 prisoners. The gaoler reported that he had delivered Anne Isherwood, and her two young children, to the Diana hulk at Woolwich in pursuance of her sentence. The Gaoler reported that Robert Oakley, William Toms, John Robinson, George Hart and William Fox, who had been 10 months confined for a forcible detainer, had been liberated in consequence of the record of the conviction having been judged defective in the Court of Kings Bench, to which it had been removed. The Gaoler reported that an order had been received from the Home Department to transfer Thomas Hostler from the Lunatic Asylum to the Gaol.
