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," Sess. 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
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 Amend-
ment 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 ser-
vitude, 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; by
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: Pro-
vided always that no rule or regulation awarding any
such punishment as aforesaid shall come into opera-
tion until a copy thereof shall have been first pub-
lished in the New Zealand Gazette :

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen,
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, under and
by virtue of the provisions of the said Ordinance
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
Marlborough.

Given under the hand of His Excellency Sir
George Ferguson Bowen, Knight Grand
Cross of the Most Distinguished Order
of Saint Michael and Saint George,
Governor and Commander-in-Chief in
and over Her Majesty's Colony of New
Zealand and its Dependencies, and Vice-
Admiral of the same; and issued at Wel-
lington, this twelfth day of October, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy.

   hair grow for not more than one month previous to
   their discharge.

   wash his body and feet twice a week, and to put on
   a clean shirt and trousers on Sunday when required.
   Prisoners must wash their face and hands previous to
   sitting down to any meal.
