389. Any prisoner who through physical incapacity or infirmity is

     considers fair and reasonable.

390. On Saturdays and other days when only half a day's work
     is done, marks shall be allotted at one-half of the full daily rate for
     the time being allotted to any prisoner, and on wet days or on occasions
     when for any reason work is interrupted the number of marks allotted
     shall be computed so as to be in the opinion of the Controlling Officer
     proportionate to the number of hours of work done.

391. A prisoner who is absent from labour on account of illness
     shall not be allotted any marks during such absence, except where,
     on a report from the Controlling Officer, the Controller-General directs

     lower rate shall be allotted to the prisoner in respect of such period
     of absence.

392. No marks shall be allotted for Sundays, prison holidays, or
     days on which for any reason prisoners do not proceed to labour,

     the next succeeding regulation.

393. Cooks, cleaners, and others whose duties require them to work
     for the greater part of each Sunday or holiday may be allotted for
     such days the same number of marks as for ordinary working-days
     unless the Controller-General otherwise directs.

394. Stablemen, drivers, dairymen, and others whose duties require
     them to work longer hours than those provided for in the routine of
     the prison may, with the approval of the Controller-General, be
     allotted additional marks at the rate of one mark for every full hour
     worked in excess of the routine hours, and, in especially deserving
     cases, the Controller-General may authorize the allotment of further
     additional marks.

     him there shall be deducted a sum not exceeding ten shillings.

396. On the last Saturday of every month and at the expiration
     of his sentence there shall be credited to every prisoner in an account
     kept by the Controlling Officer a sum herein referred to as "industry

397. The number of marks allotted to a prisoner and the amount

     be notified to each prisoner as soon as conveniently may be after the
     end of every month.

398. Prisoners who are skilled in any trade or occupation upon
     reception, or who afterwards become so skilled when regularly and

     prior approval of the Controller-General, be credited with industry
     carnings at a rate not exceeding 1d. per mark.

399. Subject to the approval of the Controller-General, there may
     be deducted from the industry earnings theretofore credited or there-
     after to be credited to a prisoner the value of any article of depart-
     mental property which in the opinion of the Controlling Officer was
     wilfully damaged, destroyed, or lost through the carelessness or
     improper conduct of the prisoner, and any expenses incurred in
     connection with the escape or recapture of the prisoner.

400. The purchase of educational books and equipment, dentures,
     spectacles, and personal necessities out of industry earnings credited
     or to be credited to a prisoner may be made with the approval of the
     Controller-General: Provided that in each case the prisoner shall
     make an application in writing for any such purchase to be made.

401. The Minister may at any time direct that the amount of the
     industry earnings credited to a prisoner or any portion thereof shall
     be paid in special cases to the dependants of the prisoner.

402. Subject to any such direction, and after making allowance
     for any other authorized disbursements, the balance of industry
     carnings standing to a prisoner's credit shall be paid to him upon or
     after his discharge in a lump sum, or by such instalments and subject
     to such conditions as the Minister may direct.
