(1)After completion of the evening parades, the first section of night guard shall be brought inside the jail by the patrolling officer; the Deputy Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent and head warders shall then count the prisoners into their wards, cells or other compartments. When all the prisoners have been locked up, the total number of prisoners shall be verified. If found correct, the patrolling officer shall then post the first section of night guard on the main wall on their respective beats and a head warder shall then collect the convict-officers patrolling the walls, take them to the latrine and ablution platform and thereafter count and lock them up. The number of prisoners locked up in each ward or other building, as well as the total number of prisoners in the jail, shall be shown in the lock-up register (No. 14), to which the Deputy Superintendent shall append his signature in token of its correctness.(2)On the completion of the lock-up, the keys of the wards, cells and other compartments where prisoners are confined, shall be collected and counted in the presence of the Deputy Superintendent who shall note the number in the lock-up register. He shall then lock the keys into the receptacle provided for the purpose at the main gate and make over the key of such receptacle to the patrolling officer of the first watch. Each patrolling officer shall in turn make over the key to his successor, and the officer of the last watch shall deliver it to the Deputy Superintendent on his entering the jail in the morning. The keys of the cook-house and of the wards in which the cooks for night duty are confined shall also be placed in the charge of the patrolling officer.
