Quarto, spiral bound, pp v, 333. Clean, very good condition. Between 1842 and 1849, 234 juvenile convicts, aged 10 to 21, were dispatched to Western Australia. Using prison and court recoreds in England and Scotland, together with pardon lists and the bi-annual returns of the Guardian of Government Juvenile, it has been possible to compile a complete list of the apprentices, and to document some of their experiences during their indentures. Gill argues that far from beginning in 1850 with the arrival of the 'Scindian' (widely considered the first convict ship to transport convicts to Western Australia) forced labour in the guise of apprenticeship has been used and welcomed since 1842. A very useful resource for researching the Parkhurst convicts and the early years of the Swan River Colony. N° de ref. del artículo 102780
