To the heads of departments mentioned at the close of the second chapter should be added the surgeon appointed by the Government. He was responsible for the sick and wounded, to a separate department of the Admiralty, and not to the Transport Board. He lodged in the hospital, until in the early part of the nineteenth century the house was built for him in the hospital quadrangle. The subordinate officials were comparatively few in number—clerks, interpreters, storekeepers, stewards, and turnkeys. These last had sleeping accommodation in their lodges; the others had lodging money, and slept in the neighbouring villages, with the exception of the chief clerk and interpreter, the head storekeeper, the hospital officials, and a few others. A few selections from the appointments, which are recorded in official documents among the thousands of papers which have been searched by Mr. Rhodes for information, will show the status of these employés; they are taken from lists referring to the second period of the war, when the records are more numerous than before the Peace of Amiens. The officials enumerated were all in the establishment at Norman Cross when the prison was finally emptied. “Mr. Todd, appointed, 27th June 1803, as French Interpreter at £30 per annum, was, on 1st July 1813, appointed Agent’s first Clerk and Principal Storekeeper at a salary of £118 per annum with no abatement for taxes.” “J. A. Delapoux, entered, 19th August 1803, as Agent’s Clerk at 30_s._ 6_d._ per week, and on March 1st 1806, as Steward, at an additional wage of 3_s._ 6_d._ per day, was a Roman Catholic, and probably of French birth, as it is recorded that it was necessary to satisfy his mind that the laws anent Aliens would not affect him.” {59} “Con. Connell, entered 4th September 1804, as Agent’s clerk at 30_s._ 6_d._ per week, and on March 13th, 1810, as Steward at an additional wage of 3_s._ 6_d._ a day.” “Geo. Kuse, entered, 22nd June 1813, as Agent’s clerk at £80 per annum.” “Wm.

Wakelin, 28th December 1813, Turnkey at £50.” “Samuel Thompson, 17th September 1812, Turnkey at £50, and £10 per annum as superintending carpenter.” “In March, J. Hayward received a rise of 5_s._ a week for acting as Lamplighter as well as labourer.” “In February 1804, Payne Pressland was added to the clerks. He was discharged in the following June.” “In 1811, J. Draper signed on as agent.” “James Robinette, 10th June 1813, as Mason and labourer at £50 per annum.”
