Richmond District Convicts Needing Tickets-of-Leave, October 1828 manuscript document signed by Josiah Spode, Principal Superintendent of Convicts at Hobart Town, addressed to F.A.Lascelles, Police Magistrate at Richmond advising that he encloses 'eighteen renewal passes for prisoners holding Tickets of Leave resident in your District and whose names and numbers are entered in the margin hereof. All males, the list includes John Burkinshaw, Callaghan McCarthy, George Conkett, John Kimber, Charles Stanfield and 13 others. Ticket of leave holders had to renew their ticket annually as well as attend muster and church services. They were allowed to bring their families over from Britain, to acquire property and to marry. They were not allowed to board a ship or carry firearms. If all this was observed correctly for half of their sentence period then the convict was entitled to a conditional pardon, which banned them only from leaving the colony, all other restrictions were lifted. However if they did not observe these conditions they could be arrested without warrant and tried without recourse.
