322. When a prisoner is sentenced to forfeit any marks which he has gained, the sentence should state the exact number of marks he is to lose, as, to forfeit six marks.
323. Extra marks may be given by the Governor, on the recommendation of the Superintendent, for special services such as:--
(a.) Giving information of plots.
(b.) Protecting gaol officers or prisoners from attack, or protecting them from imminent danger.
(c.) Preventing escapes, fires, &c.
(d.) Preserving order in case of disturbance.
324. Marks will be forfeited by prisoners for misconduct according to the punishment inflicted, generally at the rate of
8 Marks for one day solitary confinement on bread or rice and water,
6 for one day bread or rice and water,
6 for one day reduced penal diet,
> for one meal stopped,
>3 for one pork ration stopped,
4 for one meal bread or rice and water,
22 for a flogging.

325. If a prisoner is reconvicted before the period of his remission has expired, he will be allowed to earn only five marks a day instead of six, and if he is reconvicted twice before the expiration of the period of remission, he will be allowed to earn no remission.
326. All convicted criminal prisoners with sentences of twelve months and upwards who shall be employed at remunerative labour, will be allowed to earn a small gratuity at the rate of one cent for every six marks, but the whole gratuity for any one prisoner is not to exceed $10. Such gratuity shall be paid at the time of discharge. In forfeiting marks for misconduct the proportionate amount of gratuity will also be forfeited.
327. Convicts will not be allowed to earn any gratuity until they have served the first six months either in separate confinement or at No. 1 hard labour.
328. The name of every convict under a life sentence who has served fifteen years of his sentence, or having served ten years of his sentence has attained or is believed in the absence of positive evidence to have attained the age of sixty, shall be submitted for the consideration of the Governor in Executive Council. This rule will be communicated to every such convict now in prison, and to any other on first reception into prison, but each must be made to distinctly understand that such submission in no way implies that any remission of sentence will necessarily be granted.
SEPARATE CONFINEMENT.
329. Where the gaol accommodation admits of it, all male penal servitude prisoners shall be required to pass the first six months of their imprisonment in separate confinement.
