New establishment to be formed from old.

10. Whereas it is expedient that the establishment of the General Prisons Board should in the first instance be formed of persons who, immediately before the commencement of this Act, shall be employed in various capacities in the several offices of the inspectors general of prisons, of the directors of convict prisons, and of the registrar of criminals respectively; therefore the establishment of the General Prisons Board shall be at first formed out of the establishments of the said offices in such manner as the Lord Lieutenant may direct and the Treasury may approve; and no fresh appointment to such establishment shall be made so long as the duties can be provided for by the recall to active service of any person who, having been on the establishment of any of the said offices, may be or may hereafter be placed on the compensation list. The Lord Lieutenant may, with the consent in each case of the Treasury, appoint any such persons whom he shall think fit, having regard to the absolute length of service and the relative seniority and the previous duties of each such person, to a position in the office of the General Prisons Board, involving duties the same as or analogous to those previously performed by such person.
