To Captain Collin the journal of the Judge Advocate there
are two three points of time at which the behaviour of the
Convicts is noticed as being generally good: good we must understand for if worse by relation: good considering with reference to
the class of people and the spot. The
The first of these times is February 1789: at which
time the first there had been but one importation, and they the duration of
their sojournment had not been more than 13 months:
nor in that time had there been any considerable number if
any, whose terms had been of bondage had expired. At that time, early period "many"
says Captain Collins) "had given evident proofs or strong indication
"of returning dispositions to honest industry." p. 54
The second is in June 1792. [+]1 [+]1 p. 2 "At this time (says he) "the Convicts were in general "giving proofs of a greater "disposition to honesty "than had for some "time been visible among them." p. 216 The third is but little
distant from it — August in the same year. [+]2 [+]2 With very few exceptions (says he) "the uniform good "behaviour of the convicts "was still to be noted and "commended". p. 230 Before At the last
of these times many fresh importations had come in: but
still the number of expirees was not become considerable.
This third recognition made of an appearance of
reformation, is also the last: [+]3 [+]3 non-expirees as well as expirees included. from this time the
appears to have been uniformity seen as without stopping from bad to worse. The
number of expirees was all the while upon the increase.
and these as bring themselves bud (as hath been amply
stated) would being themselves bad, and continuing heaping up their intercourse
with their quondam fellows, would keep their bad behaviour.
But in what consisted the difference, precarious and changeable
as it was, between the lot of the non -expirees, and the
lot of their f quondam fellows? in a number of circumstances
all reducible to the general description — the being
less under inspection: — the being more their own masters,
the having a greater, and in many instances the entire command
over their own time.
