Accounts of prisoners: T.N., Reg no. 311. 'A boy 17 years of age, whose father had been several times in prison ... before his trial this boy gave evidence of contrition; he then expressed his thankfulness for having been kept alone, giving as his reason - that he had read and learnt much of his Bible, which he could not have done if in bad company ... He could read but imperfectly when committed, ten months' since, but has now learnt to write and can repeat every chapter of the New Testament, as far as the Epistle of St James.'
