Winchester Gaol (Prisoner's Health)

Mr. SNOWDEN
asked the Home Secretary if he will have immediate inquiry made into the physical and mental condition of J. Pritchard, No. 2674, Winchester Prison, who is reported to be in a serious state of health; and will he, in order to avoid another death in prison, have the man released?

Sir G. CAVE
This prisoner is anæmic, but he is being treated by medicine, extra diet, and out-of-door work in the garden, and is improving; otherwise he is in good health, and he is reported fit for military service. I can find no reason for recommending his release.
