choose the same kind of work for the prisou of that district; but thu case would of course be otherwise at a prison, situated in another pnrt of the kingdom, where the inhabitants took the same necessaries principally from abroad.
Without entering into details, the following trades may be mentioned as a guide: spinning, weaving, the making of course mats, straw-work, the manufacture of buttons and mountings, carpenters-work, play-things, boxes, bast-cover &c.
It should also be allowed for tradesmen to order at the prison, such work as is connected with or is necessary for their manufacture.
In several countries the prisoners are made to manufacture many things which may be necessary for the state and especially for the army. A great part of the cloth used by the Norwegian army, and which looks well, is strong and tolerably cheap, is made at the house of correction in Chris- tiania. Several regiments have had their uniforms made at Langholmcn. When such orders can take place, without injuring the sale calculated on by other manufacturers, the opportunity ought, by all means, to be taken.
A useful employment can also be supplied by means of the preparation of several things which are necessary for the public hospitals, as course linen for sheds, quills, mats, bedsteads, chairs, tables &c.
