transportation being unexpired.

6 2.6 Wif Wives and Children of Convicts in a state of Bondage

7 3.7 Officers and Privates Expirees Convicts after the expiration of
their respective terms.. their Wives and Children. Thus if [+]
[+] if these sole condition in point of fact had been really corresponded exactly with what it ought to have been in point of law, might have been termed emancipated Convicts Bondsmen: But as that does not appear to have been the case the appellation would be productive of misconception and is therefore can not be employd unfit for use.

branches of the Kings military service and Officers in the
Civil branch of the Kings service, establishing themselves after
discharge from their respective situations.

1 5 1 Officers and privates of the military class in the land

legislation as to these will stand on a different footing, according
as they are considered as remaining on Ship board
or as having come on shore.

service. Same distinction as between the several
periods of their remaining on ship-board, or being

any body else possessed any authority by law: so that all
Orders where addressed to them by any body in any political
capacity and particularly by the Governor alone, even ipso facto
void: is also, under a certain exception all orders addressed to persons in general
or whereby any power was undertaken to be exercised over persons
in general were void, so far as the concerns persons not subjected to the
power of the Governor by trial law belonging to not any the of these three classes.
