Prisoners undergoing hard labour sentences may
be permitted to write and receive one letter monthly
through the Gaoler, who will inspect all letters, and
exercise his own judgment as to their delivery. If
well conducted, these prisoners will be permitted to
see their friends on the first Saturday in each month
between the hours of 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The
number of persons admitted to see a prisoner at any
one time, and the duration of each visit, will be regu-
lated by the Gaoler. At no other time must any
stranger be allowed to visit prisoners of this class,
except by written order signed by one of the Visiting
Justices.

Prisoners detained for imprisonment in default of
bail, or in default of payment of fine, may be permitted
to write and receive letters daily in connection with
their cases, subject to the inspection of the Gaoler;
they may be allowed to see and speak with their
friends on the subject of their detention twice during
the week, between the hours of 10 o'clock and 12
o'clock a.m., and 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock p.m.; such
visits to be made in the presence of an officer.
No stranger will be allowed to visit the gaol
at any other times than provided for by these regula-
tions, except by written order signed by one of the
Visiting Justices. A copy of clause 3 of "The
Gaolers and Prisoners Act, 1869," shall be posted up
in some conspicuous place in the visitors' room or
ward, and the Goaler or Warder admitting them
should especially draw their attention to the said
clause, the provisions of which will be strictly
enforced.
