Convict Proposal

if the law is proper not perverted if no such perversion takes place, and he returns
to his country after the expiration of his sentence
the security is gone. With these three options the condition
of a convict, even if one who could find no
friend to take him under answer for him would be three times as good
as that in which many numerous descriptions of person to
whom no crime is imputed are placed by under a variety of laws now
in force: witness the Vagrant Act 17 G. 2. c 5 under by which a man
merely for begging or for want of employment may be
consigned in the first instance to the House of Correction for
above 8 months: for the second offence to the same place
with unlimited whipping, for above two years and for the 3d to transportation
for seven years. Witness the Act of 2 Ann c. 6 by
which supreme Magistrate to consign which children
may be consigned without any option to the sea service for 4 years:
witness the act of 43 Eliz. c. 2 by which children of any
which Magistrates a Magistrate to bind young children of any
age may be bound to any person till the age of 24 and adults from year to year without any option
on their part or that of their friends as to the person or the employment. witness other acts
which now give power for compelling and adults up
to any age to serve from year to year in like manner without any option as to the
Master or the service employment.
