Expence of punishment

Colony


Transportation, though with reference to the country by

mode of Colony punishment, transportation to a was, while it lasted,

itself good: especially when imposed with imprisonment as above.
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:
and for extracting it, means might be and those which
could not so well be used here. Spite of dormant
statutes, . ch.
the spectacle of an adult in a situation
condition capable of being termed susceptible of the name of slavery, working
by compulsion for an individual master
was not to be endured in England. By transportation, Slavery,
if that be slavery, was indeed thus established, but
being established out of sight, it was not regarded
as a grievance. Universally Invariably indeed Directly indeed and in express words it It was not indeed

and negligence,

of justice.

A man was to be conveyed - perhaps
to America, at any rate from this country:
an he was for this purpose to be turned over to the
Captain of a Ship, who so long as he carried
him hence, at least or at any rate so long as he carried
if so carried him thither, might do with him
as he pleased. If, he were poor, as is the
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.
