---
Read Sections 8 and 19 of Gaol Regulations.
Proposed by the Honourable W.A. Mercer, Esquire, and seconded by R. Walker, Esquire, and carried unanimously.
Resolved — That Section 8 of Gaol Regulations be amended so far as to subdivide Misdemeanants into two classes:
1st, Misdemeanants convicted of Libel; and
2nd, Misdemeanants convicted of other Offences.
And that whenever practicable these classes should be kept separate.
---
The Justices also desire to express an opinion, as probable, that the present plan of confinement for Female Criminals be altered to a suitable place adjacent to the walls of the Criminal Prison, it being desirable to preserve separation between Debtors and Criminal prisoners.
---
Proposed by the Honourable W.A. Mercer, Esquire, and seconded by Gray, Esquire — That Section 19 of the Gaol Regulations be amended as follows:
> "Misdemeanants of the 1st Class shall not be compelled to work save the ordinary Prison Work, necessary for the preservation of the cleanliness and comfort of their Rooms or Cells; and other Misdemeanants, except those sentenced to Hard Labor, shall be put to such work as they may be fitted for, but shall not, except for punishment, be put to Stonebreaking, Oakum picking, or on the Treadmill. Every convicted Female shall be put to such labor as the said Gaoler shall direct, unless it be therein ordered in the Warrant of Commitment. And after the close of the year of Criminal, in each year, the said Gaoler shall make out an account of the profit and loss of Gaol Labor for the preceding year, and such Account shall be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary for the information of His Excellency."
Regulation 19 stands amended as above.
