PRISON REGULATIONS.
Thursday's Gazette contains some imporant new regulations for the public prisons of the colony under* The Prisons Act, 1882." Included 1 among them is a system of classification of prisoners. On entering they are to be placed m the probation class, and by good conduct they may subsequently raise themselves successively into the third class, second class, first class, and special classes, with a corresponding increase of privileges and gratuity to be paid to them on leaving gaol. We notice that m future no smoking is to be allowed m the prisons of the colony, which harsh regulation will very probably lead to insubordination m many oases.
