"Kitchen
"No 4 ...Pairs Handbolts and Keys" "No 2 ...Wood Truncheons" |
| These seem strange items
to have in the kitchen ! The listing of "No 4" means that there were 4 of these items, not that it was fourth in a list. The "handbolts" were handcuffs, so the keys were pretty important ! |

"No 6 ...Tin Cups, 1 Pint each, for use of prisoners". The supplies for Victorian prisoners were very basic, such as the large tin mugs to drink from. There are more items from the stocktaking at Builth Police Station on the next page... More items of 1888 police property...
