Hard-labour Bill - Supplemental Observations
the servant's being forthcoming at any time, and
not being more than going ever beyond a certain distance from the
master's house.
Servants might be assignable from
one master to another with the consent of the servant
and the of the Ministers or the Committee.
If the servant died or chose to quit his master and
return to the Labour-house or the master died or became insolvent a proportionable part of
the purchase - money should might be returned.
If it should
be thought advisable upon the principle
adopted/adapted in to affix a humiliating
stigma on such a servant to distinguish him from
others, the master/marker proposed in the observations on
that section might be employ'd.
The master might
be bound by the terms of his recognizance to apply
then as often as should be accepting, and the servant's
being seen at any time without the mark should be
sufficient evidence to subject the master to a fine.
Thus much may serve for a general outline
of the plan; it would need were it thought worth
paying attention to, it would need to be pursued
to a much greater detail, in order to guard it on every
side against accidental inconvenience and abuses.
There are [arrow up] several particulars in it which I appre-
hend will distinguish it to its advantage from
the plan of servitude incident to Transportation.
It bears a nearer likeness to a plan of servitude
adopted in some/more foreign states certain other foreign</hi> states.
