who could reduce the sentence, that kids could be sent to jail and there were a lot of disgusting rats and that there was a war of indedendence between England and America :) By Madison || London had lots of dirty slums. In the 18th century about 115,000 people were doing illegal things. Henry Fielding formed a group of thief catchers they were later known as the Bow Street Runners. Crimes that were before considered a small offense the Punishment was now hanging and there were public executions that thousands of people gathered to watch. Britain didn't transport people often until 1717 when it became government policy. After the War Of Independence Britain couldn't sent convicts to America so they put convicts in old navy ships called prison Hulks But some people wanted convicts to be transported so they sent out ships (the first fleet) to look for a place to put them and they found Australia. The British Government wanted to be friendly with the Aboriginals By Quinn || By Portia || > He explored Australia in 1606. > He explored Cape York. > He didn't claim it because he thought it was part of New Guinea. > __Dirk Hartog__ > Was born on the 30th of October 1580 and died on the 11th of October 1621. > He explored Australia in 1616. > He discovered the western part of Australia. > He was Dutch > __Luis Vas De Torres__ > Was born in 1565 and died in 1607. > He was Spanish. > His ships names was called San Pedro and Los Tres Reyes. > He explored Australai in 1606. > He discovered the continent of Australia from the island of New Guinea.He didn't claim it because he thought it was a big island out in sea By Emelia ||
