COPYRIGHT PHOTOGRAPH - NOT TO BE REPRODUCED PHOTOGRAPHICALLY WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE, LONDON
Resolved, unanimously proposed by the Honorable W. T. Mercer Esquire, seconded by R. Walker Esquire, and carried. That Section 58 of Gaol Regulations be amended so far as to subdivide Misdemeanants into two classes, namely: 1) Misdemeanants convicted of libel; and 2) Misdemeanants convicted of other offences. And that whenever possible these two classes should be kept separate.
Addendum - The Justices also desire to express their opinion, that as soon as possible the present plan of confinement for Female Criminals be altered to a suitable place within the walls of the Criminal Prison, it being desirable to preserve the separation between Debtor and Criminal prisoners.
Proposed by the Honorable W. T. Mercer Esquire and seconded by G. May Esquire, - That Rule 69 of the Gaol Regulations be amended as follows: - Misdemeanants of the first class shall not be compelled to do more work than the ordinary Prison Work, necessary for the preservation of the cleanliness and comfort of their 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 breaking stone, oakum-picking, or the treadmill. Every convicted Felon shall be put to such labor as the said Governor shall direct, unless it be otherwise ordered in the Warrant of Commitment. And after the close of the month of December each year, the said Governor shall make out an account of the profit and loss on Gaol Labour for the preceding year, and such account shall be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary for the information of His Excellency.
Regulation 69 stands amended as above.
