The Who observation In that what is said about the number and comparative
good behaviour of the Convicts emigrating to our
East Indian territories after the expiration of their
respective terms, supposing it to have more or less truth
in it . may afford some useful inferences.

That the number of them should be very considerable
— that it should rise for example to any such
number of as a hundred — or even fifty seems
scarcely compatible with the indications afforded by
lap the correct and authentic statements of Captain
Collins. In a situation of such novelty a number
less than 50 would be sufficient I should suppose
to produce a sensation adequate to the statement in
that which taken as it would naturally be from true
and caring observation. Your Lordship may perhaps
be in possession of information of a more precise nature, on
this head as well as on many others.

1. In the first place the greater the number of these
immigrants, the less the chance of increase in the number
of settlers, and especially of settlers of the thriving
sort: the sole basis of the expectation in regard to future
improvement.

2. In the next place the comparative good behaviours
of the emancipated convicts in Calcutta, a place of
great jeop industrious and thriving population as confronted
with the behaviours of persons of in the same
condition of in life according to the account of Capt. Collins,
may serve as a confirmation of the experience above taken
between the case where the locus ad quem in is a place allowed fitted
with a population of the kind, and this case
where where it is a place as yet destitute of all population but the sort of population thus are call'd East.
