Petition of Van Diemen's Land colonists to end convict system

The document to Queen Victoria pleads loyalty and outlines how free settlers joined the colony from 1824 under land grants and incentives. It argues the convict system worsens crime, drains colonial finances, depresses property values, harms free inhabitants, and calls for abolition while urging disclaimers about the colony’s prosperity and future.
