     in his journal, and shall at once be given effect to by the Gaoler, who shall enter opposite the direction
     or recommendation in the medical journal when and how such direction or recommendation was given
     effect to, and any remarks he may deem fit to make.

     or in any way commits a breach of the prison order or discipline.

259. Cleaners may be allowed into the quarters of officers sleeping within the prison for the

268. Prisoners before trial may, by permission of the Visiting Justices or Inspector, be allowed
     to retain in their possession any books or documents belonging to them at the time of their arrest,
     which may not be required for evidence against them, and are not reasonably suspected of being part
     of any property improperly acquired by them, or are not on some special grounds required to be taken
     from them for the purposes of justice.

269. Prisoners committed in the same case shall, so far as circumstances will permit, be kept
     separate, and shall not be permitted to communicate with each other.

     if sufficient cause is shown.

272. Each such prisoner shall be allowed to see his solicitor, or a clerk authorized in writing by
     such solicitor, on any week-day at any reasonable hour, and, if required, in private; provided that
     if the Gaoler thinks it advisable, every such interview shall take place in the view of an officer of the
     prison.

273. Paper and all other writing-materials, to such an extent as may appear reasonable to the
     Inspector or the Gaoler shall be furnished to any such prisoner who requires to be so supplied for the
     purposes of communicating with friends or preparing a defence.

274. Prisoners before trial shall be permitted to procure for themselves, or receive from their
     friends, tobacco, ordinary food, clothing, and other necessaries, subject to strict examination by the
     Gaoler in order to prevent the introduction of spirituous and fermented liquors or other prohibited
     articles. Any food, &c., so procured may be paid for out of the moneys belonging to such prisoner
     in the hands of the Gaoler.

275. No part of such food, &c., shall be sold or transferred to any other prisoner. If a prisoner
     before trial does not provide himself with food, rations in accordance with No. 2 Scale shall be issued
     to him.
