Newgate Prison - This is very large building, the exterior walls are of Portland stone, and the foundations are sunk 20 feet beneath the surface.  The keeper’s house is situate in the centre, and on each side are the lodges of the turnkeys.  It is the most spacious, convenient, and magnificent prison of its kind in Europe.—The criminals that are to be tried, are conveyed to justice hall, by means of a vaulted communication that runs under the court.  The place of execution is opposite the prison.
