Note 67 — INTRODUCTION.

(67) Dr. Hind, in speaking of the convict Colony of New South Wales, says—“If then the question be, what can be done for this Colony? Begin, I said, by breaking up the system—begin by removing all the unemancipated convicts. I do not undertake to point out the best mode of disposing of them; but let them be brought home and disposed of in any way rather than remain. There is no chance for the Colony until this preliminary step be taken. But these measures, if carried into effect at all, must be taken in hand soon. Time—no distant time, perhaps, may place this ‘foul disnatured’ progeny of ours out of our power for good or for harm.”
