Side 441 - Orders of the House, examined the matters to them referred ; and have agreed to the following REPORT: Your Committee...
Side 470 - ... stated in the evidence, that most persons in this country, whether belonging to the criminal population, or connected with the administration of justice, are ignorant of the real amount of suffering inflicted upon a transported felon, and underrate the severity of the punishment of transportation.
