124. A register of punishments shall be kept at each school. In such book a record of all corporal punishment, all confinement in cells, of all continuous restriction of diet as is indicated in clauses (a) and (b) of regulation 122, and of any other punishment named in these regulations, shall be made on the day on which the punishment is inflicted; and at the end of every month a copy of the entries made during the month shall be sent by the manager to the Secretary for Education.

125. This book shall be produced to the medical officer whenever he makes a visit of inspection.

Licensing of Inmates to Service.

126. Every inmate licensed from the school to service shall be supplied with a good outfit. As soon as the employer is satisfied that the articles forming the outfit are according to the schedule supplied by the manager, and that such articles are in good order and condition, and that they fit properly, he shall, in the form provided acknowledge the receipt of the outfit. As the articles so supplied become worn out, they shall be replaced by others of good quality, so that the outfit shall be constantly equal in quantity and quality to that originally supplied; provided that the employer, if it be so stipulated in the agreement, may, instead of supplying the clothing himself, make payment to either the manager or to the inmate, as may be stipulated, to cover the cost of articles that would otherwise be supplied by him.

127. When an inmate is transferred from one situation to another, the manager shall see that the outfit of such inmate is in good order and condition, and shall obtain an acknowledgment of the receipt of the outfit as provided in the last preceding regulation.

128. The Minister may from time to time prescribe what outfit shall be provided for inmates licensed to reside out of the school.

129. Employers intending to change their place of residence must give a week’s notice to the manager of the school.

130. The employer must grant the inmate reasonable facilities for attending a place of worship, if there be one within three miles of the place of residence.

131. The employer shall, when required by the manager of the school so to do, report to him on a form, to be provided for the purpose, as to the health, clothing, conduct, and general welfare of the inmate.

132. All conditions as to the payment of wages by the employer, or payment by him for clothing as provided in regulation No. 126, must be stated in the third schedule indorsed on the license.

133. The employer shall treat the inmate in every respect with such care and humanity as a master is by law bound and required to treat his apprentice with.

134. Every inmate placed at service shall be provided by his employer with necessary medical attendance, medicines, and with proper attention during illness.

135. No employer shall strike an inmate, or use any other violence towards him.

136. A male and a female inmate may not be licensed to reside with the same employer, nor shall they reside on the same property, unless the circumstances of the case are, in the judgment of the Minister, such as to warrant his granting a license.

137. In general it shall be arranged for an inmate to receive from the employer a weekly allowance for pocket-money.

138. When an inmate is first placed at service he shall be supplied by the manager with a printed copy of the regulations relating to the licensing of inmates to service; and a copy of the agreement relating to the payment of his wages shall be supplied to such inmate without undue delay.

139. Accounts for wages must be rendered quarterly by the manager, who will be held responsible for the securing of prompt payment by all employers of inmates licensed out from the school of which he is the manager.

140. Without the special sanction of the Minister no inmate shall remain with an employer who is more than four months in arrear with the payment of the wages of such inmate, and no inmate shall be placed with an employer who has for four months owed any part of the wages of any other inmate, or of any former inmate.

141. If it be stipulated in the agreement under which an employer undertakes to make payment of wages or of money in lieu of clothing, that such payment shall be made monthly or quarterly, and if the inmate leaves the service of the employer at any time other than that at which a payment becomes due, payment shall be made up to the date on which the inmate leaves.

142. If an inmate licensed out to service leaves his situation without the authority of the manager, the employer shall without delay notify the manager; otherwise wages may be claimed for up to the time when the manager becomes aware that such inmate has so left his situation.
