in the Legislative Council, with reference to the duties devolving upon a Justice of the Peace, when visiting the Gaol.

It is satisfactory to learn that it is not within the province of a visiting Justice to take cognizance of punishments other than those inflicted for prison offences; but I observe that His Excellency considers that had I examined the prison offence book I could hardly have failed to notice that were the illegal floggings inflicted during July 1876, the months preceding my second visit to that gaol, and I try to be informed whether it be not the case that other Justices visited the Gaol between the date of those floggings and that of my inspection.

I have been under the impression that the periods, with which I as a visiting Justice had to concern myself, were the intervals between the visits of a brother Justice and myself, or in other words, "the weeks for which the Governor appointed me visiting Justice".
