CONVICT PRISON REGULATIONS
OF THE
PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND.
WHEREAS by an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand, intituled " the
Secondary Punishment Act, 1854."
It was enacted amongst other things that every
person except as thereinafter mentioned who shall
be kept in penal servitude, shall, during the term
of his servitude be employed on the Roads or
Public Works, or otherwise be kept to hard
labor in such part of the Colony of New Zealand
as the Governor shall in that behalf direct and
subject to such correction as may be necessary for
his safe custody and strict discipline and for the
purpose of being so employed as aforesaid every
such Convict may be removed from place to place
either by sea or land and may be confined in such
Public Gaol, at such penal station, or in such
place of confinement or may otherwise be kept in
custody as the Governor shall from time to time
direct, subject to certain provisoes in the said Act
contained, And whereas it was further enacted
that it should be lawful for the Governor from
time to time to make such Rules and Regulations
as to him should seem meet for the employment,
safe custody, management and discipline of the
Convicts under sentence of penal servitude, and to
enforce the observance of such Rules and Regula-
tions by solitary confinement as in the said Act
provided and by such other prison discipline as
may be prescribed in that behalf, provided always
that no Rule or Regulation awarding any such
punishment as aforesaid should come into opera-
tion until a copy thereof shall have been first
published in the New Zealand Government
Gazette.
Now therefore I Thomas Gore Browne, Gover-
nor of the Colony of New Zealand, do hereby,
under and by virtue of the powers in the said Act
contained and of all other powers, and authorities
me enabling in this behalf publish the following
Regulations for the employment, safe custody,
management and discipline of Convicts, under
NZ Gazette 1856, No 32
