Till the reign of Charles 2d simple imprisonment
ready planted Colony, was a very frugal mode of punishment:
especially when
compared with modification of simple imprisonment, as
comprised the only chronical punishment
above. Till the reign of Charles 2d, simple imprisonment
was the only shape
in which chronical
punishment had ever
presented itself —
at least in the character
of punishment. to
be ministered for
any considerable length of time,
and in the character
of punishment.
Towards the commencement of
that reign, the advances made in the colonization
of America presented pointed that out transportation to thither
that country as an additional resource. The
unbounded plenty of land has produced in that
distant country an unbounded demand for labour:

case with most men, especially with
most convicts, he was poor and unable to pay defray
for his passage, the expence of such a length of voyage the Captain sold him, and
servitude was the rep banishment thus received
the addition of forced servitude. If without being
sold he could find means to satisfy the Captain,
what was called transportation was transportation and nothing more.
