G. GREY, Governor.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance of the Lieutenant-
Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the
Colony of New Zealand, intituled "An Ordinance
for the Regulation of Prisons, Session VII., No. 7,"
the Governor is empowered from time to time to
make such rules and regulations as to him may seem
fit, touching the duties of the Officers of any Public
Gaol, the classification, diet, instruction, treatment and
correction of the Prisoners therein, and generally to
prescribe all such rules as may be necessary for the
good discipline of any Public Gaol, and the safe
custody of the prisoners therein.

And whereas by an Act of the General Assembly
of the said Colony, intituled "The Secondary
Punishment Act Amendment Act, 1863," it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor from time to
time to make such rules and regulations as to him
shall seem meet 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 confinement
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 fifty lashes at one
time; by imprisonment not exceeding twelve months,
in addition to the original sentence; and by such
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, 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 recited, and do publish
the same to be in force within the Province of
Southland.

As witness the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Grey, Knight Commander of the
Most Honorable Order of the Bath,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, at the
Government House, at Wellington, this
ninth day of April, one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven.

Prisoners.

1. Coercive labor is the consequence of crime.
   The first duty of the prisoner is obedience, which
   will be most rigorously enforced. Prisoners, while
   undergoing a just punishment for their offences, must
   bear in mind that it is the desire of those to whose
   charge they are entrusted to see them raised to a
   better position, and that consequently, while under-
   going penal discipline, they will be afforded an
   opportunity of showing, by industry and orderly and
   regular behaviour, that they have acquired such sense
   of the duties owing to society, and of the obedience
   due to its laws, as will qualify them at the close of
   their term of imprisonment to enter on a new career
   with a fair prospect of being able to make their way
   as honest and useful members of society.

2. One uniform system of discipline will prevail.
   Prisoners of less than average intellect will not
   on that account be more rigorously dealt with than
   others; but men of a restless disposition will be
   placed at such description of labor as requires the
   closest and most unvarying attention, and will be
   kept apart in the prison when possible.

3. All prisoners on entering the gaol shall be
   searched in the presence of an officer, and all articles
   taken from them.

4. They will then be required to thoroughly wash
   themselves before they put on the prison clothing,
   &c., and if sentenced for a longer period than one
   week their hair will be cut short, and their whiskers
   and beard shaved.

5. A list of their clothes, with all money and other
   property taken from them, will be entered in a book
   kept for the purpose, with the signature of the officer
   who has charge of them, and of the prisoner from
   whom they are received.

6. Every prisoner is to be kept steadily and
   constantly at labor. No relaxation of such labor
   will be permitted until the prisoner shall have com-
   pleted at least one-third of his sentence with good
   conduct, when any of them may be selected by the
   gaoler to act as wardsmen, cooks, or in other such
   office.

Complaints by Prisoners.

7. They are to pay implicit obedience to all lawful
   commands they may receive, and they are, on all
   occasions, to pay proper respect to all persons placed
   in authority over them.

8. They are at all times and in all places to conduct
