Last week as the convicts were passing along to the water-side, in order to be shipped for America, with fifes playing before them, Thro' the Wood Laddie, &c. a gentleman looking on observed to another, that they were very joyous; to which a droll fellow, a convict, replied, "Joyous! aye so we are master; and if you will but go along with us, you will be quite transported." |
