HC Deb 03 July 1890 vol 346 c656
MR. WEBB) (Waterford, W.

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, with reference to the following passage on page 11 of the Report on the Blue Book for Zululand, 1889: "number of prisoners committed to Etchowe Gaol 113, average daily number in gaol 43," how many cells in Etchowe Prison are exclusively reserved for prisoners, and what is the size of those cells?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. de WORMS, Liverpool, East Toxteth)

The gaol at Etchowe comprises seven wards for the confinement of prisoners, the gross area of which is believed to be about 9,000 cubic feet.
