Series notes:
The Prison Barracks in Campbell Street, Hobart served as a depot for convicts newly-arrived or awaiting re-assignment, for short term imprisonment, for public works and loan gangs, and for convicts to be re-assigned to other stations for punishment.
This volume, apparently one of a larger series, is made up of instructions from the Principal Superintendent to 'dispose' of convicts in one of the ways mentioned. Most of the men had been convicted of offences and returned to the Prison Barracks for reassignment to other stations.
