The following Regulations are hereby made as to the removal and return of prisoners and criminal lunatics under the said Act:

1. Every prisoner removed under the said Act from a British possession to the United Kingdom for the purpose of undergoing the residue of a sentence involving confinement in a prison combined with hard labour shall, in the United Kingdom, be dealt with as follows, that is to say :

If the original period of his sentence did not exceed two years, in the same manner as if he had been sentenced in the United Kingdom to imprisonment with hard labour for the same period;

And if the original period of his sentence exceeded two years, in the same manner, as nearly as may be, as if he had been sentenced in the United Kingdom to penal servitude for the same period.

2. Every prisoner removed under the said Act from one British possession to another British possession for the purpose of undergoing the residue of a sentence shall in such last-mentioned British possession be dealt with in the same manner as if he had there been sentenced to such punishment authorized by the law thereof as, in the opinion of the Secretary of State signing the order of removal, shall most nearly correspond to the punishment to which be was sentenced in the first-mentioned British possession, and for the same period.

3. The Forms in the Schedule to this Order or Forms to the
