order for the due custody
thereof

or persons, who shall be responsible for the same, and by whom any
legal writ or order for the production thereof shall notwithstanding any
order from the said Governor be obeyed: care being taken that the
due keeping of the said Books for the use of the said Penitentiary
House be not impeded nor the authority of the said Governor over such
person or persons so far as for such purpose shall be necessary impaired.
