Rules for the Gaoler

The Gaoler will visit the cells morning and evening, and satisfy himself of the safety of his prisoners. He must recollect that the preservation of their health will mainly depend upon cleanliness of persons and abode, to which he will particularly direct his attention. The Constable on duty will see that no prisoner leaves the prison, unless under the special charge of a Constable or Officer of the Prison.

One of the Police Magistrates will visit the Prison at least once every week, and make a written Report to His Excellency the Governor.
