19 N. S. Wales VII Escapes

two non-expirees. These four fugitives were discovered by smoking
the ship, an operation, for which the consent of the master (for
so it is particularly stated) had been obtained. Of the non-expirees
it is stated that they had not yet served the full period
of their sentences. From this statement it seemed but reasonable to
inferr that even these, had they returned to England, would not
have been landed there till after the day at which they had
a right to land on British ground. Be this as it may,
thus much is our doubt, that by this order the assurance
given in the preceding one of August 1792 was compleatly
violated: and that in respect of the faculty of leaving the
Colony, the condition of those who had a right, and those
who had not a right, was the same: the same under the
eye, and by the act of that very Governor, by whom the existence
of the right had not seven months before, been noticed
and recognized so that, by his own shewing, he kept them
there in defiance of the law.

N. 12 (p. 283) 24th April 1793. A second opportunity for manifesting
the sincerity of the assurance, and the manifestation is
of the same kind. "But few Convicts" (meaning Expirees, says
Captain Collins) "were allowed to quit the Colony in these ships:
by which it is evident that it was want of permission on the
part of the governor, and not want of room or any other
faculty that prevented the numbers from being greater. The
ships were two. On another occasion in Nov. 1794 it appears
that the number of Convicts received on board two ships only
(the Endeavour and the Fancy) had been near an hundred+:
whereof fifty by permission, fifty more without it.
