will be read, during which they will remain uncovered
and attentive.
135. They will then breakfast and proceed to
labour, during the months of April, May, June, July,

months they will proceed to labour before breakfast,
returning for that purpose at 8 o'clock. The dinner
hour during these months will be 1 o'clock, and they
will return from labour in the evening at 5 o'clock.
From April to September the dinner hour will be
12 o'clock, and they will return from labour at 4
o'clock. On Saturday afternoons they will be exempt
from hard labour, and should employ themselves in
repairing and mending their clothes, &c. Prayers
will be read every evening, after which, should there

up for the night.
136. Lamps will be kept burning in the different
divisions of the prison during the night, and any
