Resolved. That Section 58 of Gaol Regulations be amended as to subdivide Misdemeanants into two classes: 1st class Misdemeanants convicted of Libel, and 2nd class Misdemeanants convicted of other offences. And that whenever practicable these two classes should be kept separate.
Addendum. The Justices also desire to express an opinion, that as soon as possible the present place 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 Prisoner.
Proposed by the Honorable W. Selby Esquire and seconded by Albany Esquire. That Rule 69 of the Gaol Regulations be amended as follows:
Misdemeanants of the 1st Class shall not be compelled to do more work than the Ordinary Prison Work, necessary for preservation of the cleanliness and comfort of their Rooms or cells; and other Misdemeanants, except those sentenced to hard labour, shall be fit to such work as they may be fitted for, but shall not, except for punishment, be put to stone-breaking, oakum picking, or on the treadmill. Every Convicted Felon shall be put to such labour as the said Governor shall direct, unless it be otherwise ordered in the Warrant of Committal. And after the close of the month of the year, in each year the said Governor shall make out an account profit and loss of Gaol Labour for the preceding year, such account shall be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary for the information of His Excellency.
Regulation 69 stands amended as above.
