Information About

Ticket Of Leave




Ticket of leave men were permitted to Marry or to bring their families from Britain, and to acquire property, but they were not permitted to carry Firearm s or board a Ship . They were often required to repay the cost of their passage to the colony. A convict who observed the conditions of his ticket of leave until the completion of one half of his sentence was entitled to a conditional Pardon , which removed all restrictions except the right to leave the colony. Convicts who did not observe the conditions of their ticket could be Arrest ed without Warrant , tried without recourse to the Supreme Court , and would forfeit their property.
