The Convicts are required to pass through classes, to enable them to get a proportion of the gratuity allotted to each Class. For example:

Some, in all cases, namely, one fourth of the period spent upon public works, which is reckoned to the dates of committal, the latter being spent in separate confinement.
I think it would be reasonable if the same rule were adopted for convicts at Hong Kong. This remission can only be gained by convicts in England, by natural industry and work performed. What is carefully measured, as far as possible, is the records of industry, which are kept in marks, some marking the highest, and some marking the lowest, representing full time. If he earns the full remission allowed him, the marks are daily done by warders and checked by the overseer of the work.
No remission is granted for good conduct unless it is deemed indispensable to entitle a convict to reward for his industry. If he misconducts himself, he loses a certain number of marks, and thereby loses what he has gained by his work.
I think the system is worth explaining, and it is, I think, worthy of consideration by Supt. Robinson.
The proposal to grant some gratuity to convicts on discharge is in accordance with the practice in England. However, it requires careful management, as young convicts are apt to spend gratuities on debauchery. Under our regulations, the gratuity to any convict is limited to £3, with power to increase it to £6.
The convicts are required to pass through certain classes, and a proportion of the gratuity is allotted to each class. For example:
