Tried and Attainted’: Comparisons of the Application and Reception of the Common Law of Attaint in Virginia and New South Wales”
Common Law, the shining cornerstone of the English Justice system, becomes a muddy pool when trying to uncover the ways in which it arrived into the early Virginian, Maryland, and early Eastern Australian colonies. This is particularly true for the common law of felony attainder. Attaint—social and legal death without physical death—had lasting implications on the question of legal personhood for the convicts transported from England to these col…
Great Grievance: Benjamin Franklin and Anti-Convict Sentiment

While these rhetorical arguments were borrowed from the abolition movement in full swing at the time, they also had a basis in the legal status of the convicts who had been sent to British North America between 1611 and the American Revolution. This article brings the status of Australian convicts into comparison with the earlier America…
