tion of the prisoner's ohence, may adjudge him to be banished, during the
period of his sentence, from the district in which his place of abode is
situated, and to be kept to hard labour on the public roads, or other public
works, in any other district to which he may be removed by order of the
Nizamut Adawlut.
The magistrates of the several zillahs, at the close of the half-
yearly gaol delivery of their respective districts, and the magistrates of
the several cities, on the 1st January and 1st July of each year, or at any
other period when the same may be required by the Nizamut Adawlut,
shall transmit to that court a list of the convicts in their respective gaols who
may have been sentenced to transportation beyond sea, or to banishment
from the district in which the offenders may have resided under each of
the two preceding clauses, specifying in such lists the names, ages, crimes,
and sentences of the several convicts ; and in the list of those sentenced to
banishment, the district in which they may have usually resided before
they were brought to trial. .
.AY/M. The Court of Nizamut Adawlut, after receiving the list required
by the foregoing clause, will issue the necessary directions for conveying
to the gaol of the Twenty-four Pergunnahs, the convicts sentenced to
transportation beyond sea, when the state of that gaol may admit of their
being received, or an opportunity may offer for transporting them; and will
also give the requisite instructions concerning the removal of the convicts
under a sentence of banishment. The Court of Nizamut Adawlut is fur-
