report to me on a recommendation made in the Annual Report of the Superintendent of the Gaol, which was transmitted in my despatch No. 103 of 1st ultimo, that Victoria Gaol should be reserved for convicts and long sentence prisoners only, removing the short sentence prisoners to some other building.

This Committee in a report of 14th April last made the following recommendation :-

As the provision of adequate Gaol accommodation in this Colony hinges entirely on the system followed in the punishment of Criminals, the Board have come to the conclusion that the two questions cannot be dealt with separately, and they find themselves unable to submit recommendations, any, in respect of Gaol accommodation, permanent or provisional, without entering at considerable length into the larger question of the present treatment of the Criminal.
