Copies of returns, 1836–37, 1847, 1872–81
This volume appears to comprise copies, kept in
the gaol, of returns sent to the appropriate
administrative office in Sydney (for example,
Colonial Secretary, Comptroller General of
Prisons). The format varies over time, but the
returns normally consist of monthly lists of
prisoners admitted, together with an annual list
of all prisoners in the gaol on a certain date
(usually Michaelmas Day, Sep 29).
