PARLIAMENT OF GREAT BRITAIN DARLING General Ralph
Report from the Select Committee on the Conduct of General Darling while Governor of New South Wales. With the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix
London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 1835. Marginal water-stain affects the last twenty or so leaves title-page thumbed with small loss of a little letterpress due to past adhesion; a good copy overall. Foolscap folio iv 168 pp. in handsome quarter brown calf with gilt label. This report clears former governor Ralph Darling now promoted to General of the serious charges brought against him during the impeachment instigated by William Charles Wentworth. The charges concerned several matters namely the dubious nature of grants of crown land made by Darling the case of Captain Robert Robinson and the mismanagement of funds for the New South Wales Veteran Companies and also Darling's attempts to limit the freedom of the public press. The most serious and controversial of the charges related to his harsh disciplinary treatment of the two soldiers Sudds and Thompson which resulted in the death of the former. The Select Committee cleared Darling of wrongdoing and here publishes their findings along with the testimonies provided during the investigation. With regards to the military punishment the Committee ruled 'the conduct General Darling with respect to the punishment inflicted upon Sudds and Thompson was under the peculiar circumstances of the Colony especially at that period.entirely free from blame'. Ferguson comments that this report is 'An extremely important source of information with reference to this famous case.' This copy bears the ownership signature of colonial grazier and politician Sir William John Macleay. Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed unknown

London: Ordered by the House of Commons 1832. Preliminary leaves bear the neat stamps of the Birmingham Law Society likewise gilt blocked to the front board very good in original brown cloth rebacked. Foolscap folio 162 pp. original brown cloth. Historically informative report on "secondary punishments" meted out to repeat offenders already within the prison system most famously within the Australian context Norfolk Island and Port Arthur. As a matter of course the reports include significant notice of transportation inland settlement the granting of land and also relations with Aborigines. The 1832 companion follows directly on from that of the previous year and begins with notice of the pressing urgency of further investigation and reform before presenting its own series of interviews including a repeat performance by the prominent viticulturist James Busby. Those who provide testimony for this report are a fascinating lot and include the botanist Allan Cunningham and the magistrate John Stephen. For the first time several people involved with the prison hulks were called in and even some prisoners were allowed to speak including a remarkable interview with one "A.B." who had been confined on the Hulk Retribution at Sheerness for six years awaiting transportation. The report is also significant for an early printing of a substantial interview with Elizabeth Fry the Quaker reformer. Ordered by the House of Commons unknown

PARLIAMENT OF GREAT BRITAIN
Report from the Select Committee of the House of Lords on the Present State of Discipline in Gaols and Houses of Correction. bound with six other parliamentary papers
London: by Order of Parliament July 1863. Quarto with six short contemporary notices related to convict management bound before the primary report of xxx 512 pp.; a fine copy in modern green cloth. An influential report prepared by members of the House of Lords highly critical of the lenient treatment of prisoners sent to Western Australia. On 27 November 1852 the last convict ship sailed for Van Diemen's Land and so ended transportation to the east coast of Australia proper. Even the 700 prisoners held in the hellish penal colony at Norfolk Island had all finally been removed from the inhumane conditions under which they suffered by May 1856. The only colony willing to take convicts at this stage was Western Australia. An economic depression combined with acute shortage of labour made the prospect of transportation an appealing one and legislation of 1849 made Western Australia a place to which convicts could be sent. Small numbers of men well selected for assignment labour in colonial conditions produced good results for the colony. It appeared that the mistakes and abuses experienced on the east coast were largely avoided. In total only 9635 male prisoners were sent to Western Australia over a period of 18 years. This report prepared by a select committee of the House of Lords attacks the supposedly lenient treatment of prisoners both in Britain and Western Australia. Alan Shaw writes 'It had come to accept the view that a more severe deterrent punishment was needed and that transportation was no good for this'. The convict assignment system in Australia failed to inspire horror in potential criminals subsequently the Lords committee wanted it disbanded and replaced with 'a massive machine for the promotion of misery' Shaw p.359-360. This report marks an important point in nineteenth-century criminal law where notions of reform and rehabilitation tested in previous decades were quickly replaced with an inflexible science of punishment. Reformation and the infliction of suffering had always co-existed but this report heralded a new era neatly surmised by Sir James F. Stephen wherein 'criminal law is mainly a system of licensed revenge'. Interestingly this report is bound with six related notices printed for parliament. Five concern prisoners and tickets-of-leave in Great Britain and Ireland while the sixth is a printed petition dated 12 February 1863 by a deputation of Australian colonists. It summarises the benefits of transportation to Western Australia claiming convict labour indispensible to the development of the colony that escape is 'almost insurmountable' while boasting considerable success in the reformation of felons. Although transportation continued for a few more years ultimately the conservatives won the day and the colonial petitioners were unsuccessful. The last transport sailed for Western Australia in October 1867. by Order of Parliament, July unknown
