DEBTORS' PRISONS RULES AND REGULATIONS.

15th August, 1867.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance of the Legislative
Council of New Zealand (Session VII., No.
8), intituled "An Ordinance for the Regulation of
Prisons," it was enacted, (section 6), that it shall be
lawful for the Judges of the Supreme Court from
time to time, to make such rules and regulations for
the management of such Gaols as then were, or
thereafter might be, used for the imprisonment of
Debtors, and for the control of the Debtors therein;

We, the Judges of the Supreme Court, under and
by virtue of the provisions of the said Ordinance, do
make the following Rules and Regulations; and do
order that the same shall come into force on the 1st
day of October, 1867, in, and shall be applied to,
every Gaol in the Colony of New Zealand, used for
the imprisonment of Debtors:--

RULES AND REGULATIONS.

1. The Debtors in every such Gaol are to be
   kept if possible, consistently with the resources of the
   Gaol, quite separate from all Felons and Misdemean-
   ants undergoing sentences, from all persons waiting
   for Trial, and from Lunatics; and if such complete
   separation be impossible, the intercourse of such
   Debtors with such Convicts, persons waiting for Trial,
   and Lunatics, shall be prevented by the Gaoler as
   much as possible.

2. On the admission of every Debtor into a Gaol,
   it shall be the duty of the Gaoler to ascertain that he
   has with him no dangerous weapon or article calculated
   to facilitate escape, or other prohibited thing; but
   the examination for such purpose shall in no instance
   be conducted in the presence of any other prisoner.
