XXI. Separate apartments in the gaol are to be allotted for the following
descriptions of prisoners :
Prisoners under sentence of death.
Prisoners sentenced to confinement by the q/ or the
Nizamut Adawlut.
Prisoners committed to take their trial before the q/ UzhcMZif.
Prisoners sentenced to confinement by the magistrate for petty crimes
or misdemeanors cognizable by him.
And as the crimes proved or alleged against the second or third descrip-
tions of prisoners must be of different degrees of atrocity, the magistrates
are required to separate those who have been found guilty or accused of
heinous crimes, from such as have been convicted of or charged with crimes
of less magnitude. They are likewise to separate the male from the
female prisoners, so as to prevent them having any communication with
each other; and the rules prescribed in this section, for keeping apart the
several descriptions of the former, are to be considered applicable also to the
latter. The magistrates are further enjoined to endeavour to prevent
drunkenness, gaming, and other immoralities being practised in the gaols.

from gaol, after an imprisonment of six months or upwards, calculating

of such assistance, a sum sufficient to maintain them for one month. The
sum to be paid to each individual is to be regulated by his situation in life,
but it is in no case to exceed five rupees, and in every instance is to be con-
fined as much within that amount as may be consistent with the purpose
for which the allowance is granted.
