The Matron is to superintend all the work of the diflfer- ent classes of female prisoners, whether sewing, picking oak- um, scrubbing, or washing, and to read to them when not otherwise employed ; and in every respect to be responsible for their good conduct and discipline while in prison. II. She shall cause all female prisoners to be searched on their entrance into prison, to ascertain that no spirituous liquors, tobacco or pipes, or other prohibited or improper ar- ticles are introduced into the prison ; and also examine them carefully on their discharge, to see that they carry no Gaol clothing away with them, such as shoes, stockings, petticoats, or chemises.

But such case must be reported to the Go pernor on his return. V. She should separate the felons (or those charged with the more serious crimes) from ordinary misdemeanants, but in the limited classification of prisoners to which we can attain, consequent on the circumscribed nature of our prison build- ings, she should endeavour as much as possible, to establish the principle of separation, not so much according to the of- fences for which they are committed, as according to their general conduct, character, and degree of criminality.

She must at all times keep the female prisoners in pro- per subjection, hold no conversations of a gossipping nature with them, and allow no familiarity to bo used towards her- self by any of them. But she must be firm and determined in her orders to them without undue harshness or severity. VIII. She should be careful at all times to avoid showing any undue preference for one female be^^ond another ; for favorit- ism will be productive of jealousy and discontent among the prisoners, and will also be highly detrimental to that proper influence which she should exercise over them. IX. She must enforce strict silence amongst the female pris- oners while at work, and allow no chatting, noise, or idling ; and while passing up and down stairs, see that no noisy or improper conduct is indulged in by any of them. X. She must remain close to the female prisoners while washing or scrubbing, and keep strict watch on them, and prevent them having any improper communication by ward, sign, or gesture with any male prisoner. XI. She must see the women's wards swept three times each day, that is to say, after breakfast, after dinner, and imme- diately after supper. XII. She shall not suffer any female prisoner to take her meals out of the proper hours, so that when the wards arc cleaned up they shall not be made filthy by having crumbs of bread; &e. strewn about. XIII. If any knocking should take place in the women's wards during the night, she is at once to inquire into the cause of such alarm, and to report the same to the Keepers on duty down stairs in the Turnkeys room ; one of whom will imme- diately afford her assistance in any cases of sudden illness or any other emergency which may arise. XIV. Should any female prisoner be taken ill during the night, she shall report the same to the Governor or 1st Keeper in the morning. XV. She shall see the water closets in the Dcbto";' quarters and female wards are washed out each day immediately after breakfast, and at all times kept perfectly clean, and the win- dows open whcTCver the weather will permit. The wash sinks should also be kept clean, and all extra clothing be- longing to the female prisoners folded up and kept on the shelves. No articles to be suffered to lay about on the win- dows. 15 xvr. She must keep an account of all female clothing belong- ing CO the Gaol, worn out or destroyed, and make a return of the same to the Governor. XVII.
