Series notes:
Most of the communications are on printed forms from the Principal Superintendent and concern the disposal of convicts; for example, the release of particular men as assigned servants, or of those whose terms at the Barracks have expired, or of those who have been appointed constables. There are also particular requests from settlers, forwarded through the Principal Superintendent, for skilled mechanics, and memoranda from the Superintendents of other stations and the heads of departments concerning particular men. Associated papers include passes and memorials for indulgences.
