ChIV Means of Effectuation Inducement to §2 II Settlers without Capital
II. Labourers Ulterior inducement. Assurance of becoming proprietors of land:
namely by purchase made of it, by the savings which it will be in their power to
make; out of the surplus of the wages of their labour over and above what is
necessary for the purchase of the means of their subsistence.
III. Third inducement, facility of marriage. True it is that in England they can
not be prevented from giving to themselves this enjoyment. But then it is on
condition of their living in a sort of imprisonment in the Workhouse. In
Cottages the Parish authorities refuse to place them. `Starve' (they say) `or
come and live in the Workhouse.
Preparatory Period. By the Preparatory period understand The time during which
the expected Labourers are [...?] upon rations: say one year.
IV. Ulterior inducement, a certain sum of money which it is [...?] to give to
each over and above his or her rations: this under the expectation that it will
be saved up, to be employed[?] in the purchase of land.
[...?] It may be said instead of saving up this money to purchase land they will,
in a large proportion - no one can say in how large a proportion - lay it out on
the means of intoxication
Answer ... In a certain proportion yes. But by experience, this proportion is
found to be extremely small: for the purchase of land, on the part of the great
majority, the appetite instead of being deficient, is found to be rather
excessive. The cause is - that for the most part emigrants are not stupid only,
but young men of a [...?] and enterprising turn of mind.
N.B £16 a head the price at which Shipmen offer to export Colonists from England:
£20 will be given to them. Per Wakefield 9 Aug. 1831.
