he shall be credited with that number of marks
accordingly.
14. As no remission will be granted for conduct
prisoners who have not been sentenced to hard
labour can earn no remission unless they voluntarily
undergo hard labour.
15. Gaolers shall report to the Minister of Justice
in sufficient time to allow the necessary instrument
authorizing the release of the prisoner to reach the
Gaoler by the time the prisoner shall have earned the
remission provided for by these rules; and such
report shall specify in full the name of the prisoner,
his crime, his sentence, the date of his trial, the
Court at which the trial was held, his conduct and
marks while in prison, and the date on which the
remission will be earned if the prisoner continue his
current rate and does not forfeit any marks for
misconduct in the meantime. Should any short-
coming or forfeiture take place between the despatch
of the Gaoler's report and the receipt of the instru-
ment authorizing the release of the prisoner, the
Gaoler shall telegraph immediately to the Minister
of Justice.
16. There shall be hung up in each ward a copy
of these Rules, and also a list of all the prisoners
belonging to it, on which shall be recorded the
sentence and date of sentence of each prisoner,
together with a note of the number of marks earned
by each prisoner respectively; such note to be cor-
rected weekly. (This rule shall supersede regulation
20 of Regulations for the Public Prisons of the
Colony proclaimed on the 17th day of March, 1875.)
17. No rule for the remission of life sentences will
be laid down. Such sentences are passed on persons
guilty of the very gravest offences; and the Governor
will only extend the Royal prerogative of mercy to
such persons in exceptional cases.
18. In these rules the masculine gender shall,
where applicable, include the feminine.
