Evidence: | Accounts of prisoners:
H.W., 26, Reg. no. 530. - Committed six months since for obtaining money under false pretences, having been three times previously in gaol, and of a character so base as to have been discharged by his own relations. During the last three months he has been the subject of intense sorrow, and I discover many pleasing signs of reptenance.'
Examination provided as proof of his intensive reading of the Bible. |
