TitleVarious letters including one from the clerk on the disposal of Irish and Scottish paupers and two from Mr. James Rust, one dealing with the request of the Hurstingstone division for a second look-up, the other dated Alconbury, October 3rd, expressing concern at the formidable list of prisoners for trial, 23 cases including horse-stealing and sheep-killing, a great many previous convictions (one twelve times in custody before), 14 prisoners strangers in the neighbourhood, twelve prisoners railway labourers and two sailors. The Railway has done pretty well for us.......! The sailors, I suppose, are ordinary Tramps in Sailors' dress....... I shall be truly glad when the rail works are over. I suppose our gael will not be enlarged before then. It is most certainly not equal to the present pressure upon it.
Description(This year shows a change in Hunts occupations - there are repeated references to new railway construction. Some Irish labour is to be noted. F.M.P.) Also contains reports of the Visiting Justices, the chaplain and the surgeon.
