scribed in that behalf: Provided always that
no rule or regulation awarding any such pun-
ishment as aforesaid shall come into operation
until a copy thereof shall have been first pub-
lished in the Government Gazette.

Assembly of the said Colony, intituled "The
Secondary Punishment Act Amendment Act
1863," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for

for the employment, safe custody, management,
and discipline of convicts under sentence of
penal servitude, and to enforce the observance
of such rules and regulations by solitary con-
finement for any period not exceeding one
month at any one time, or for three months
in periods of one month at intervals of at least
one month each, by placing in irons, whipping
not exceeding 50 lashes at one time, by im-
prisonment not exceeding 12 months in addi-
tion to the original sentence, 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 shall 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,
under and by virtue of the provisions
in the said Ordinance and Acts respectively
contained, do hereby make the following
regulations for the purposes hereinbefore re-
cited, and do publish the same to be in force
