To provide for this vast body, Dartmoor and Perth, each capable of holding as many prisoners as Norman Cross, had been built. {99} My mother, who remembered being driven over at the age of five to the stalls at the prison gate to buy a toy, could recall the appearance of the stalls and the toys, but nothing more. It was probably one of the fixed stalls shown at the eastern gate in MacGregor’s plan. The materials of the stalls, the pebble paving, and the paled fence in front of the market were sold, when the prison was demolished, for £20. —T. J.

Foulley knew the prison seven years later, this block was set apart for petty-officers and civilians. {113} The remainder of this chapter is quoted verbatim from the _Story of Dartmoor Prison_ (Basil Thomson). {125} Basil Thomson, _loc. cit._, chap, xix., p. 202. {126} _Vide_ Appendix A.
