In reply to your Circular Despatch of the
13th. of last August, I have the honour to inform you that the
maximum number of strokes that a Court can award in this Colony
is 12 in the case of an offender under 16 years of age and 20
in the case of any other offender, and that the maximum number
under the Gaol Regulations is 24 for an adult and 12 for a
juvenile. No Legislation or alteration of the Prison Rules is
therefore required.
