| 4. 15-4-1852 **Kang** Logan River Absconded 3 months hard labour Footnote: Within the evidence it was stated that Kang had contracted with TLM-P on the 5th November 1851 to serve for a period of 3 years and 6 months at a rate of 12s. per month. During his period of service Kang had acquired goods to the cost of £2 18s. 2d. and it was on the basis of absconding in debt that he received the sentence of hard labour on the Newcastle breakwater.\\ | 4. 15-4-1852 **Kang** Logan River Absconded 3 months hard labour Footnote: Within the evidence it was stated that Kang had contracted with TLM-P on the 5th November 1851 to serve for a period of 3 years and 6 months at a rate of 12s. per month. During that time Kang had acquired goods to the cost of £2 18s. 2d. and, unable to repay the debt or accumulate savings, absconded. He was sentenced to hard labour on the Newcastle breakwater. Keneally outlines how Kang had threatened to shoot TlLM-P and a magistrate had consequently sentenced Kang to three months hard labour in Newcastle as well as entering sureties of £80 or be imprisoned for 12 months.((Thomas Keneally, //Australians//, Vol. 1, Allen & Unwin,2009, p.488-89)) The last penalty was overturned by the Attorney-General presumably because it was laughable that a Chinese labourer could afford £80 and that the Attorney-General was not part of what we would now call 'the mates network' of Queensland squatters. Keneally also notes that the men had to return to their masters (who kept the contract) after their period of hard labour.\\ |
