A number of matters have been discussed together with the regulations and dietary scale which had been adopted by the Executive. Your Lordship may be strongly impressed that the regulations deal with the government of the Gaol.

I may explain, therefore, to Your Lordship that Sir Martin Kennedy, with the advice of his Executive Council, did not propose to make any radical change in the punishments for prisoners sentenced to hard labour servitude by the penal Magistrates of the Supreme Court.

The recommendations made by the Committee are all based upon the supposition that the Government had it in view to amend the whole system of hard labor and penal discipline. This, however, was not contemplated, and though if occasion should arise for such change, the researches of the Committee and the experience which they have obtained will prove of invaluable service to the Government; Sir Arthur felt that the subject was far too complex, involving as it did large questions of general policy.
