ORDER IN COUNCIL.

Convict Prison Regulations of the Province
of Otago.

At the Government House, at Auckland, the
Seventeenth day of October, 1862.

Present:-
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

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 em-
ployed 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 con-
finement 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 Regula-
tions as to him should seem meet for the em-
ployment, safe custody, management and
discipline of the Convicts under sentence of
penal servitude, and to enforce the observance
of such Rules and Regulations by solitary con-
finement as in the said Act provided, and by
such other prison discipline as may be pre-
scribed in that behalf, provided always that no
Rule or Regulation awarding any such
punishment as aforesaid should come into
operation until a copy thereof shall have been
first published in the New Zealand Government
Gazette.

Now, therefore, I, Sir GEORGE GREY,
the Governor 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 sentence of
penal servitude, and for other the purposes in
the said Act mentioned and specified to be in
force within the Province of Otago.

Penal Station and limits within which
Convicts may be kept to hard labour.
Every male person sentenced to penal
servitude within the said Province, shall during
the term of his servitude, be kept to hard
labour within the precincts of the Gaol at
Dunedin, or on the Roads or Public Works in
the vicinity of such Gaol.

Classification.
All such Convicts shall be divided into two
classes. The first class shall consist of such
Convicts as shall by superior and continued
good conduct merit indulgence.
No prisoner shall be placed upon the first
class without instructions from the Visiting
Justices or one or more of them to that effect,
upon the recommendation of the Gaoler and
without having previously served a probation-
ary term of six months at least.
The second class shall consist of Convicts
whose general behaviour shall not merit
indulgences and of such as shall have been
degraded by a Visiting Justice from the first
class. All prisoners in this class shall, if ne-
cessary, be worked in irons.

Punishment Regulations.
Every person confined within the said prison
under authority of the said Act and who shall
be guilty of any of the offences next hereinafter
mentioned, that is to say:

1. Refusing or neglecting to obey the law-
   ful orders of any officer of the Gaol.

   with others than Officers of the Gaol,
   without lawful permission.
