as may from time to time be given them by the
Gaoler, subject to the approval of the Visiting
Justices.

Unconvicted Prisoners
29. Will be subject to the general rules of the
prison. They will not, however, be required to dress
in the prison clothing, to be shaved, or to have their
hair cut close. If such prisoners are discharged, the
property taken from them shall be returned, if not
retained under legal advice. If admitted to bail, such
property as may be directed by the Magistrate
admitting them to bail shall be retained until they
are discharged.
30. They will be supplied with the same rations as
the prisoners not at hard labour.
31. They may be visited by their legal adviser on
any day (Sunday excepted) between the hours of 10
o'clock a.m. and 4 o'clock p.m. They may also be
visited by their friends in connection with their cases
twice during each week, between the hours of 10 and
12 a.m., and 2 and 4 o'clock p.m., such visits to be made
in the presence of an officer of the gaol. They may
also write to and receive letters from their legal adviser.
Unconvicted prisoners shall be cautioned that any
remarks they may make respecting their cases may
be used against them on trial.

Juvenile Unconvicted Prisoners
32. Will be subject to the same rules as adult
unconvicted prisoners.

Cooks.
33. The cooks shall be in such proportion as may
from time to time be sanctioned by the Visiting
Justices. They shall be selected by the Gaoler from
the best-conducted men among those who have com-
pleted one-third of their sentence.
34. They will be held responsible that the prisoners'
rations are properly cooked and distributed according
to the directions of the Gaoler.
35. They will be required to have the cook-house,
cooking utensils, tables, mess-kits, pails, &c., at all
times properly cleaned, and kept in their proper
places. They are to be employed in their spare time
in such work as the Gaoler may allot to them.

General Routine.
36. From the 1st day of September to the 1st day
of April, prisoners will rise at 6 o'clock a.m.; during
the remaining portion of the year they will rise at
daylight. The cells will be opened, they will fold
up their bedding, then wash and dress themselves;
fifteen minutes will be allowed for dressing. They
will assemble when and where required, their names
will be called over, and they will then take their
breakfast.
37. The cells are to be swept and dusted every
morning; the bedding (weather permitting) will be
suspended in the airing yard, and afterwards folded
up in as small a compass as possible, and put away
in the appointed place. This duty will be performed
by such of the prisoners as may be chosen by the
Gaoler for that purpose.
38. The hard-labour prisoners will muster at ten
minutes before 8 o'clock a.m., their names will be
called over by the Gaoler, they will then proceed to
their place of labour; they will march in an orderly
manner, two abreast, guarded by the officers of the
gaol. Each prisoner's work will be appointed him
by the officer in charge, and he will not leave his work,
on any pretence whatever, without permission of the
officer. They will continue at work until 12 o'clock;
one hour will then be allowed for dinner; at 1 o'clock
p.m. they will resume their labour, and continue at
work until 5 o'clock p.m. On their return from
their daily labour they will muster, and their names
will again be called over by the Gaoler. The officers
on guard will take especial care to prevent idling and
talking, and on no account must they allow prisoners
to speak to any stranger.
39. On their return, each prisoner will wash him-
self and prepare his cell for the night; supper will
then be given to them, and at 6 o'clock p.m. they will
be locked up in their cells, with the exception of
those prisoners who by good conduct have earned
the indulgence of being allowed to remain up until 8
o'clock p.m. in summer, and until 7 o'clock p.m. in
winter, for the purpose of reading and receiving
instruction. Before being locked up for the night,
each prisoner must be searched in the presence of the
Gaoler.
40. During weather too wet to admit of out-door
labour, the prisoners will be employed in the per-
formance of such duties as shall be assigned them by
the Gaoler, subject to the approval of the Visiting
Justices.
41. Prisoners committed to gaol who may not be
sentenced to hard labour, may volunteer to work with
the hard-labour men by permission of the Visiting
Justices. In all these cases, such prisoners will be
subject to all the rules and regulations affecting men
sentenced to hard labour, and while at work with the
gang will be allowed hard-labour rations, if their
conduct is reported as good.
42. Armed officers on guard are not to allow
prisoners to approach nearer to them than ten paces.
43. Unless otherwise ordered by the Visiting
Justices, out-door work is to cease on Saturdays at
noon. From 1 o'clock p.m. to 5 o'clock p.m., on
Saturdays, each person is to be employed in mending
and washing his clothes and bedding, and assisting in
cleaning the prison for Sunday.
44. Prisoners about to be discharged from custody
will receive notice from the Gaoler the evening
previous to their discharge, and upon leaving the
gaol they are to be strictly searched. On the day of
their discharge they shall deliver to the Gaoler the
prison clothing and bedding in their possession in a
clean and neat state; they will then be placed in
possession of the clothing and effects taken from them
on admission to the gaol.
