IN 1852 THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT ENDED CONVICT TRANSPORTATION TO THE eastern colonies of Australia. In the same year French transportation began: the first common convicts left their prisons for camps in French Guiana. One year later the French flag was raised in New Caledonia and the act was officially justified solely on penal grounds. The government had long wished to possess overseas some places which could, if needed, receive its penal settlements. New Caledonia met all the desired conditions.1
