- W144569732 abstract "This thesis examines the lives of the convict workers who constituted the primarywork force in the Campbell Town district in Van Diemen’s Land during theassignment period but focuses particularly on the 1830s. Over 1000 assigned menand women, ganged government convicts, convict police and ticket holders becamethe district’s unfree working class.Although studies have been completed on each of the groups separately, especiallyfemale convicts and ganged convicts, no holistic studies have investigated howconvicts were integrated into a district as its multi-layered working class and theways this affected their working and leisure lives and their interactions with theiremployers.Research has paid particular attention to the Lower Court records for 1835 to extractboth quantitative data about the management of different groups of convicts, and alsoto provide more specific narratives about aspects of their work and leisure. Localadministrative records from the Convict Department, the Colonial Secretary’s Officeand the Engineers Department as well as the diaries and letters of colonists, accountsof travelers, almanacs and newspapers have also been used.Some key results proposed in the thesis include the following:Local magistrates had more varied and liberal middle class backgrounds than theircontemporaries in New South Wales. They willingly became the governor’s agentsof control over the convict work force, accepting his political authority, andremained primarily interested in increasing their wealth. The duties undertaken byconvict police were more complex than the literature acknowledges and the claims ofcorruption and inefficiency made against police by the contemporary press arechallenged. Ganged men maintained interactions with the general community outsidetheir gangs, including complex trading and commercial transactions." @default.
