NRS-962 | Copies of letters sent re convicts

Copies of letters mainly to the Principal Superintendent of Convicts and to the Land Board in relation to the assignment of convict servants. In 1831 this Board became the Board for the Assignment of Convict Servants and it in turn was replaced by a Commissioner for the Assignment of Convict Servants in 1836. A note in the volume for 1855 refers one to the series Copies of Letters to Penal Establishments (NRS 971) for letters to the Principal Superintendent of Convicts subsequent to 18 May 1855, but this volume has not been located in that series. The office of Principal Superintendent was discontinued in December 1855, his functions being largely taken over by the Convict Branch of the Police Department.
