Rules relative to Remission of Sentences of Prisoners confined in Gaols and Penal Establishments in New Zealand.

1. PETITIONS from Prisoners for remission of sentences on the ground of industry and good conduct will be entertained after the expiration of the following proportions of their sentences:—

   • Several sentences for less than six months each, if amounting in the aggregate to six months or upwards; and sentences of six months, and not exceeding twelve months, four-fifths.
   • Sentences exceeding twelve months, and not exceeding two years, three-fourths.
   • Sentences of upwards of two years, two-thirds.
   • Sentences for life, ten years.

   Such petitions will be forwarded by the Gaoler to the Judge or Justice who sentenced the prisoner, who will forward the same with his report thereon, if a Judge of the Supreme Court, to the Colonial Secretary, or if a Judge of a District Court, or a Magistrate, to the Minister of Justice, for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor. Such Petitions must be accompanied by a report from the Gaoler stating whether the conduct of the applicant has been (1) “ordinary,” (2) “good,” or (3) “very good,” during the period of his imprisonment; whether he has been habitually industrious; what punishment he has been awarded therefor, and whether he has been previously convicted either in this Colony or elsewhere, all of which circumstances will be taken into consideration in granting a remission of sentence. The Gaoler must also procure and send with his report a certificate from a Visiting Justice, to the effect, that he believes the Gaoler’s report to be correct.

2. Petitions for remission on other grounds than that of industry and good conduct may be made at any time, and should be transmitted in the same manner.
