amongst other things enacted that every person
except as thereinafter mentioned who shall be
kept in penal servitude, shall, during the term

from time to time direct, subject to certain
provisoes in the said Act contained: And
whereas it was further enacted that it should

lish the following Regulations for the employ-
ment, safe custody, management and discipline
