Excerpt from Our Convicts, Vol. 2 I was appointed Chairman of the Directors of Convict Prisons in Ireland under the Act of the 17th and 18th Victoria, in 1854. In 1853 I was on a Commission of Convict Inquiry in Ireland, and for some years previous to that, as a County Magistrate in England, I had given great attention and con sideration to the subject of the treatment Of criminals generally, and the prevention Of crime. I mention this to the Committee to show that any Opinion which I may give is not alone derived from my Official connection with the subject.

Excerpt from Our Convicts, Vol. 2 The English and the Irish Convict Systems were both founded on the Act of Parliament of 1853. The object of that Act was to make such changes in the system adopted towards Convicts, as would prepare them for discharge in our own country, since our Colonial provinces were virtually closed against them, Western Australia only consenting still to receive a small number annually. We have seen that in England the system has hitherto been a failure, but have traced that failure, not to the principles on which that and the subsequent one of 1857 were founded, but to certain omissions and additions which were incompatible with the successful working of the principles. We now proceed to the examination of the Irish Convict System, which has fully developed the principles of both those Acts.

Excerpt from Our Convicts, Vol. 1 of 2 Our convicts I They are a part of our society! They belong to ourselves! They are not only subjects with us of the same great British Empire on which the sun never sets, but they belong to the same British Isles, the same small centre of civilization, the same heart of the world's life, the same Island, small in geographical extent, infinitely great in its influence on the nations, - whence must go forth laws, principles, examples, which will guide for better or for worse the whole world!

Excerpt from Our Convicts: Their Riots and Their Causes, Containing Startling Revelations of the Frightful Abuses of Our Convict System, Official Correspondence, Etc;, Etc My Lords and Gentlemen, if the outbreak at Chatham was an exceptional circumstance, it might, be impossible to arrive at the cause, although it is not at all probable that 800 men out of would be in Open and furious mutiny without some tangible reason being alleged. Rebellion is the chronic condition of all the convict prisons. I spent ten years under Sir Joshua J ebb, as first school master among convicts; I served in eight different convict prisons and hulks, and in every one of them, from time to time, occurred furious and general revolts. On one occasion the assistant-surgeon, Charles Hope, Esq, was murdered. I left the convict service in 1857, and since that time the rebellions among the convicts have been more frequent, and of a far more fearful and general character. In Dartmoor, at Portsmouth, at Portland, at Lewes, and at Chatham, during the last three years there have been far more mutinies among the convicts than ever were known before. It has been kept from the knowledge of the Lords and Commons, but those acquainted with convicts well know that mutiny and riot are far more general in Sir J. J ebb's convict prisons than they ever were even in the horrible hulks. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Our Convicts: Their Riots and Their Causes, Containing Startling Revelations of the Frightful Abuses of Our Convict System, Official Correspondence, Etc;, Etc My Lords and Gentlemen of the Commons of England, The following pages are written to give you true information concerning the state and management of the Convicts in England, and to snow through you to the country, why it is the prison at Chatham and the other convict prisons are so often disturbed by furious and murderous outbreaks on the part of the convicts imprisoned within them. This is the more necessary, as the Homo Secretary, whose duty it is to be well-informed of the state of the convict prisons, has, as will be seen from the following quotation, expressed himself quite unable to give any information as to the causes of the late bloody riots in Chatham prison: - The Convict Revolt at Chatham. Mr. Alderman Salomons asked the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department if be could give any information concerning the outbreaks of the convicts at Chatham; if he was aware of any alleged causes for those outrages; and what steps had been taken to prevent their recurrence? "Sir G. C. Lewis believed the most satisfactory way of answering the question of Ins hon. friend, would be to state shortly what hod taken place with reference to the recent disturbance in the prison at Chatham. Early in January, six of the prisoners attempted to escape. The attempt was frustrated, and they were removed to the Penitentiary at Millbank. Early in the present month, a disturbance occurred while the convicts employed in a small island in the Medway, called St. Mary's Island, were at dinner. The ground alleged by the convicts implicated in that disturbance was the poverty of the soup furnished to them for their dinner. That complaint, however, was entirely unfounded. It was merely a pretext for a disturbance. These men were removed to separate cells to await the decision of the Director of Prisons. Captain Gambier went down last Monday to try them, when it was reported to him that the other men-convicts were in a state of insubordination.
