Box 116 contains material relating to Bentham’s views on convict transportation, comprising two works:
Panopticon v NSW is a passionate condemnation of the convict colony of New South Wales, in which Bentham compares it unfavourably with his panopticon penitentiary scheme. Bentham’s main source for Panopticon v NSW was An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales published in two volumes between 1798 and 1802, and written by the colony’s first Judge-Advocate, Captain David Collins. Panopticon v NSW is notable for Bentham’s genuine anger, and his tendentious interpretation of the evidence in Collins’s work. It is one of the most important early critiques of convict transportation, though it had little impact when he wrote it. However, Bentham’s arguments were repeatedly discussed in the following decades, and though he did not live to see it, they had an important role in the decision to abolish transportation to New South Wales in 1840.
In A Plea for the Constitution Bentham broadened his argument, in suggesting that arrangements in New South Wales were both unconstitutional and illegal. He argued that, as they had been granted no such power by Parliament, that the Governors of New South Wales had no legal powers to make binding local regulations, or to punish people for them. Bentham himself recognised that this argument could cause chaos in the colony, and had it only privately published in 1803. There is evidence that a copy reached New South Wales, and that A Plea for the Constitution may have influenced the bloodless overthrow of Governor William Bligh in 1808.
The material is divided as follows:
