NEW SMITH WALES. EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT OF THE COMMIS SIONER OF INQUIET INTO THE STATE OF THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. (Cuntiwited from oft Pere* of yeitr►iwy) Governor Macquarie, in his declaration, enjoins the strict observance of the following rules: first, that it bring the Governor's unalterable intention to extend the high boon of royal clemency only to such persons as had, by a long and uninterrupted period of gond conduct, and sincere contrition of their part offences, evinced themselves worthy of such favour and indulgence; he declared that no convict under sentence of transportation for life need apply for a fret pardon or emancipation, ex. cept in a case of extraordinary merit, until after a lap.e of several years of servitude, and fidelity of conduct ; and convicts for limited terms of trans portation were to experience no remission of their original sentence until they had served one-half of the time at Ina. Tickets of leave were not to be given until the applicants had served three years, at least, fur the Government, or the settlers to whom they were as signed, subject always . to good conduct during that time, certified by the magistrate or clergyman of the district in which the applicant resided. The declaration further stated, that the Governor desired it to be clearly and dstinctly understood, that having laid down the foregoing system for his own government, he was determined Hot to deviate from it in any instance whatever. • In the mouth of January, 1813, a new regulation took place in a Government and general order, to which it was declared that very little attention had been shown to the former orders respecting applica tions of convicts, end that they should thenceforth only he made on one day in the year, viz. the first Monday in each succeeding mouth of December. The Clergyman and Magistrates were enjoined not to sign certificates for soy persons with whose real character they were not well acquainted, and that the certificates must express their considering the applicants to be sober, hottest, and industrious. Absolute pardons were not to be applied for by convicts fur life, until they had been fifteen years in the Colony; nor by convicts for limited terms, until they had resided at least three-fourths of those terms. Conditional pardons, or emancipation., were not to be grouted to couvie's for life until they had been ten years in the colony ; nor to cotivicto for li mited terms, until they had resided at least two. thirds of their original sentences. The same regu lation that was declared in the year 1811, respect ing ticket. of leave, was repeated. 1 am not aware of any subsequent regulation on this subject; and it is considered that these last regulations are still in force. Such are the rules by which Governor Macquar rie has professed to guide himself in the exercise of this important branch of his duty. Upon several occasions, however, since the promulgation of these rules, he has thought it expedient to suspend their operation, in consequence of the numbers of con victs that had its tne years immediately preceding received absolute or conditional pardons, or tickets of leave. Suspensions of general upplications, stated to be founded upon this principle of ex pedieticy, were ordered to take place on th e 16 1 h November, 1816, on the 7th November, 1818 (ex cept fur tickets of leas.), sod again on the 1 till November, 1820, These orders were not observed ; for in the year 1817, 10 free pardons, 16 conditional pardons. and 202 tickets of leave, were granted. 111 1819, 21 free pardons, 56 cooditiossal pardons, and 205 tickets of leave; and in 1840, • free pardons, 191 co.stlitioiral pardous, and 965 tickets of leave, were granted. The terms of these different species of indulgence are to be found in the Appendix. An absolute pardon of the Governor of New Smith %Vales con tains • declaration under his hand, and the seal of the territory, that the otiexpired let 111 or transporta tion of the convict is absolutely remitted to bun. It is registered in the secretary's Ace, and ti fee of .5.t. itt paid there to the principal clerk, mad 6J. to the Government printer. A conditional pardon contains • declaration of the Governor, wider his hood and official seal, that the unexpired term of the convict's deuce is con. ditioually remitted to him ; and the condition is ex pressed to be, that he shall continue to reside within the limits of the Government of New South Wales &mug the space of the origimil sentence, wider p:111 of incurring all the lb/9106n of re-appearing in Great Britain, for and during the term of his original sentence or order of transportation ; or as if the remission had never helm granted. The ticket of leave confiners u declaration of the Governor's pleasure to dispense with the attend. Mier, at government work, of Olin convict holding it, and of his being permitted to employ himself (olf the government stores) in :my lawful °crops non, within any given district, bar Iris own advan tage, during good behriviour, or mild the Governor's pleasure shall be made Is 1111%11. It is either ex pressed to be by cot iiiii sod of the Governor sod signed by his Secretary, ur H is signed by the Go vernor himself. The certificates issued by the sew.* tary attest, that after an examination of the tinfoils, so many years have expired since sentence of that term veils fumed en the party minded to it, deocribing tire year and ship in which he strived, awl twilit% with • declaration, that, by reason of the expired service, the said party is restored to nil the rights of a free subject. To all these documents • description of the per son is added, and they wee registered Us mtuorote books in the office of the secretary to the Gover nor. I wiU gist submit to your Lordship a statement of the slumber of these several kitsch of itanusious , . of punishment that have bees conferred by toVer nor Msequsrrie, since he assumed the government in New Smith ales; the manner in which the! are granted, and the considerations for grouting them; and lastly, the effect and rights that they have been held to confer upon the parties. From the year 1810 to the year 1820 Governor Macquurie has granted 966 free pardons, 1,365 conditional pardons, and 4,319 tickets of leave. A nominal list of the convicts that have received these remi.siona of rentence, in each year. from 1810 to 180.0. is to be found in the Appendix; dis tinguishing the period of the conviction of the parties in England, the year of their arrival in New South Wales, and the date of their remission of sentence. These psrticulara I thought important, as I was not certain whether they had been fully doted, or regularly transmitted, for your Lordship's informs teem, during the whole of the above period. By the first regulations that appeared upon the subject of reniisaioue of sentence, applications might be made for them to the Governor in every month of the year; but by the regulation of 1813, they have been restricted to one day in the year.— This testriction arose from the inconvenience that was felt by the Governor in the augmentation of the business he had to transact, and the pretexts that the applications afforded to the convict. for perpetual absences, and journies to Sydney. to pre sent their applications. I was present at the go vernment house on the sth January, 1820, the day to which the petitions thin were to leave been presented in November, 1819. had been deferred, to consequence of the governor's illness. The crowd upon tilts occasion was very great ; and observing their impatience, the governor addressed them, and informed them that he would grant uo tickets of leave to those who had not been three years in the country, nor any other indulgence, except in con formity to the terms of his proclamation of the year 1813. This address produced no effect. There was great difficulty in preserving order in the prepen lation of the petitions that were delivered to the go ver►or ; who, on perusing the statements, and look ing at the certificates, either wrote it. pencil, on the margin. the initial letters of the indulgence that was to be given, or rejected the petitions altogether. The petitions presented upon this occasion exceeded 700; they were collected by the major of brigade and two clerks, who, with the superintendent of convicts, were the only persons present. The petitions to the Governor for indulgen ces are generally dawn up by the clerks to the Magistratea, or the convicts who are expert in writing : they set fottls the year and ship in which the petitioner arrived in the Colooy, and his services in it, and concluding with a complimentary appeal to the Governoi's bene volence and humanity, pray for such remission of sentence as he may think fit to bestow. They are signed either by the Magistrates or the chaplains of the district.; but I observed that the certificates of the diffesent magistrates varied as much io their form, as they did in the degree of their recommendation : in some cases there was • simple signature of one or more magistrates, in others there was a mere recommendation of the pe titioner's core to the governor; but in none did I see that the terms of the governor's order for the year 1813 were strictly complied with, or that the petitioners were certified to be "honest, tuber, and industrious." In the district of Windsor, the ma gistrates lave generally met previous to the day of presenting petitions to the governor, and have made • selection of persons wholes they thought most de serving in the several district., and forwarded a list, with their petitions, to the governor. The applications of the Convicts in the employ ment of Government are signed by the respective superintendents, and at Sydney by the chief en gineer. In the course of my attendance at the government house, on the presentation of petitions, my attention w is particularly drawn to the 1101111r1011* violations of the governor's orders that had been committed by all the magistrates, in signingirertificates arid re cut 1111 l endations for convicts, whose services had not !cliched the several terms appointed by the gover nor's order of the year 1813 ; and it was the more observable, sr the governor bad addressed circular letters to them previous to the period of receiving petitions of this kind, in which they were requested to pay particular attention to these point*. The instances of this inattention were more numerous in the petitions signed by Captain Piper, the naval officer, than in those of any other magistrate ; and they were less excusable in him, because, from constantly residing in the town of Sydney, and front giving very little attendance at the meetings of the magistrates there, he had fewer opportunities of knowing the conduct of the applicants than the other magistrate* who resided in the country. After .hr petitions are received, the Gosernor makes out a het of those to whom indulgetwt•r are to be g►anted, and it is sent to the Secietrry's (Arr. where, upon a reference to the original in fletitS. the documents ate filled up and prepared free the Gioreruor's ►iguature.
