For some reason, I thought Australia was populated by *convicted* felons - i.e. they had their day in court (with whatever fairness was in vogue at the time), and deported after being found guilty. I wasn't aware that the British were sticking people on ships headed for Australia for the express purpose of avoiding having to give them a trial. Feel free to provide pointers if I snoozed through that class in World History.. ;)
