Thomas Reidy was Deputy Superintendent during the period covered by this volume. Weekday entries record the time of seeing the prisoners turn out in the morning, prayers, mustering of gangs, and inspection. A tour of inspection is then recorded, and a verdict on the quality of rations. Any extraordinary occurrence is recorded, as are complaints and receipt or discharge of prisoners. Any neglect of duty by subordinates is noted, and attendance at evening prayers and classes. On Sundays, Catholic and Protestant services are noted, as well as the inspection parade.

These records are part of the holdings of the Tasmanian Archives
