Clause 7 prohibited compelling most enslaved plantation workers to leave home before daybreak, work through breakfast or dinner, or continue after sunset. It allowed an exception for production requiring night or extra labor and specified a short morning break and a longer midday meal period. The rule regulated extraction of labor; it did not establish a freely chosen workday. (Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 7.)
