The county-gaol was erected near the site of the old castle in Dorchester, between 1789 and 1795, at an expense of £16,179,
and comprises a gaol, sheriffs' ward, penitentiary, and house of correction; the exterior is handsome,
and the interior is divided into various departments for the classification of prisoners, having four wings,
which, though detached, communicate with the central building by cast-iron bridges

Only one convict died on the voyage. The 'Downs' during the age of sail was a safe area of sheltered water between the strait of Dover and the Thames estuary where ships awaiting an easterly wind to take them into the English Channel gathered, often for quite long periods. So I think John CRATE was placed on board the Prince of Orange in Portsmouth Harbour on 2nd October and she sailed to the downs to await a favourable wind leaving on the 8th. I think this record only records the name of the ship he arrived in Australia on as the 'Prince of Orange' was back in England in 1822 and delivered another 136 prisoners to Horbart on 23rd July 1822.
