quire respecting it, I was not able to obtain any
satiefactory proof of corrupt motives in the d4tritiss-
tioo that had been made by tom of the female cott-
viers. It is militated by him that their cub shitutioas
was the frequent consequence of the indelgeuce
afforded to 'hem oo ih.te arrival ; and that it was
asot on offence of which he conceived himself bound
to take cognizance: The temoial of the female
convict• from Sydney to Paramatta has been ahead
mentioned. Olt their there they are &loped
to remain in a wooden building that is near the fats
tory ; and if tiny have succeeded in bringing their
bedding from the ships, they ire permitted to de.
posit it there. or in the room in which thelemide
prisoirris are coutimd for punishment. The first
of these spertmeots is in the upper floor Oa bootee
that was boat 1;4 the reception of peogstooo itopirt.
&t It contains owhee apartment, on the groond floor.
that is occupied by the men employed in the fac-
tory. It is noeSurrounded by sof wall or piing ;
and the upper room or garret has only one wisolow.
and an esity communication with the room below.
No accommodation is afforded for cooking provi-
sions in this building ; nor does there exist either
inducement to the female convicts to remain iu
or the means of preventing their escape. The
greater portion, therefore, betake themselves to the
lodgings in the town of Paramatta, where they co-
habit with the male convicts in the employ of Go-
vernment, or with any persons who will receive
them. Their employment in the factory commis
of picking, spinning, and carding wool. They are
tasked to priforin a certain quantity in the day,
and when their task is finished. which is generally
at one o'clock, they are allowed to retain to their
lodgings. Their weekly ration consists of four
pounds ten ounces of flour, and the same quantity
of meat, or two pounds of pork; and the same
ration is issued to the females who are confined for
punishment. The children who accompany their
mothers to Paramatta are maintained by Govern-
ment, and receive one half of the ration last de-
scribed. As there is a general objection among-t
the settlers to receive into their families female
convicts who are accompanied by children, it is
their lot to remain longer iii Permatia, and at the
factory, than others. The factory itself consists of
one long room, that is immediately above the gaol,
having two windows in front that look into the gaol
yard. one in the end of the building, and two
windows looking into a yard that is immediately
behind. The dimeusions of the mom are 60 feet
by 20; and at one end are store-rooms, where the
wool, yarn, and cloth are kept. There iv one fire..
place. at which all the provisions are cooked. The
women have no other beds than those they can
make from the wool is its dirty state; and they
sleep upon it at night, and in the midst of their
spinning-wheels and work. No attempt has been
made to preserve cleanliness in this room, as the
boards had shrunk so much, that when they were
washed the water fell through them into the prison-
rooms below. The walls of the room and the roof
bore equal marks of neglect, and the drains itt the
yard were in the highest degree offensive.

Colloquial intercourse always took place between
the female convicts and the male convicts confined
in the prison, except during the hours of labour ;
for in the windows there was nothing more than
three wooden bars, and inside shutters. A range of
wooden buildings had been erected on one side of
the yard below, connected with the gaol and factory
by • wall of ten feet. In this range, and in a small
building attached to one of the side walls, were
placed the looms, where the cloth was wove by mule
convicts assigned for the purpose. At a little dis-
tance from the factory, and beyond this wall, was
the superintendent', house and garden, containing
four small and inconveuient rooms. Mr. Oakes, the
superintendent, had for some time ceased to inha-
bit them himself. and had converted one of them into
a stable ; but he bad continued for his own use the
cultivation of a small garden and a paddock imme-
diately adjoining. The care of the factory, there-
fore, except during the hours of labour, was com-
mitted to a constable, who was still a convict, who
had continued in that office for fifteen years, and
received no larger allowance as • reward for his
fidelity than •re ion and a half. The security for
the performance of his duty depends upon the risk
of detection; the same presumptive check that is
supposed to s ruvide fir the official integrity of many
other establishments in New South Wales, aided
by the further probability of disclosure., to which
the intoxication of the women would lead, if they
were permitted by the constable to go out of the
factory, when confined there. Considered us • place
of punishment for offences committed by female
convicts in New South Wales, the factory at
l'arainatta acted merely as a temporary restraint
from indiscriminate intercourse or unchecked &t-
-itivation. The labour of the females confined for
punishment, was not greater than those that were
retained there for employment ; and their dirt was io
nos ise inferior. The only punishment that it in-
flicted was that of moral and physical degradation,
beyond the low state of existence from which many
of them had previously been taken ; and reducing
those who had been in better situations nearly to
the saute level. The women who had become most
profligate and hardened by habit writ associated in
their daily tasks with those who had very lately ar-
rived, to whom the customs sod practices of the
colony wete yet unknown, and who might have es-
caped the consequences of such pernicious lesson•,
if a little care and a small portion of expense had
been spired in providing theta with • separate
apartment during the hours of labour. As • place
of employment, the factory at Paramatta was not
only very defective, hut very prejudicial. The in-
sufficient accommodation that it afforded to those
female* who might be well disposed presented mu
early incitement, if not au excuse, for their resort-
ing to iudiscritninate prostitution ; and on the
evening of their arrival at Pareinatta, those who
were not deploring their state of abandonment and
distress were traversing the streets in search of the
guilty means of future support. The state in which
the place itself was kept, and the state of disgusting
