Fees at Coming in from the Counter—1s. 2d.; at going out—3s. 2d.; and to the Turnkey—1s. For their being here they pay on the Commons Side 1s. 2d. per Week, and on the Master's side—1s. 9d. They have among the Prisoners a sort of Government, as a Steward chosen the 1st Tuesday in every Month; also 7 Assistants.'[662]
