Prison.
28. The Superintendent shall, a few days before the opening of the Supreme Court Sessions, on the occasion of prisoners who are committed for trial being served with the usual informations, ask each man if he wishes to call any witnesses for his defence, and shall at once inform the Police authorities in order that such witnesses may be if necessary summoned to appear at the sessions. The Superintendent will record this in his journal, stating the number of prisoners who have been asked the question, and their replies to it.
29. The Superintendent will be held responsible for the due discharge of the prisoners at the expiration of their sentences.
THE WARDEN.
30. The warden shall assist the Superintendent in his duties, acquaint himself with the rules and regulations of the prison, and see that they are strictly carried out by both the subordinate officers and prisoners.
31. The warden shall reside in the prison, or at a place appointed by the Governor, and shall not absent himself from his quarters for a night without the permission of the Superintendent. He shall take charge of the gaol during the temporary absence of the Superintendent and shall not leave the gaol during such absence; nor during the presence of the Superintendent without his permission.
32. A deputy warden shall be appointed by the Superintendent to act during the absence of the warden, such deputy to have all the powers, authorities, and responsibilities of the warden, who shall, before leaving the gaol, personally give over charge to the deputy, with all necessary instructions.
33. The warden shall take care that every prisoner on admission is put into a reception cell and strictly searched, and that all knives, weapons, instruments, money, opium, tobacco, or anything forbidden by the rules, or anything likely to facilitate escape, be taken from such prisoner. As far as practicable no such search shall take place in the presence of any other prisoner.
34. On the admission of each prisoner, it shall be the duty of the warden or clerk to record in the gaol register or nominal record of prisoners, the name, age, height, weight, features, particular marks and general appearance of such prisoner, with anything else worthy of notice.

35. The warden shall take care that all articles taken from prisoners, with their clothes and other effects, and all such things as may from time to time be sent in on the prisoner's account shall be entered in the Prisoner's Property Book, with the date of their receipt and restoration; and that all such property shall be kept in a suitable place to be provided for the purpose, and shall be restored to the prisoner on his discharge; except such clothes as it may be considered necessary to destroy, or such money or property as the Governor may think fit to confiscate, or to allow the prisoner to have to assist him in his defence on his trial.
