On Tuesday 20 prisoners were drafted from the town gaol, under military escort, to sundry iron and road gangs, according to their sentences, and in the morning, as usual, about a score of frail Magdalens, took passage in their elongated ordnance piece for the female factory at Parramatta, there to do penance for sundry peccadilloes during sundry periods.
