Series notes:
The subject of the division of financial responsibility for British convicts and associated charges in the Colony was one that was raised perennially, and the documents included in his series by no means exhaust the question. The copies are of Secretary's despatches and colonial Parliamentary Papers, and the chief matters discussed are convict and ex-convict paupers and lunatics, the children of convicts, and the allocation of the cost of police and gaols.
