Parry, who for some years directed the affairs of the Australian Agricultural Company 198 LABOUR AND INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA in New South Wales, declared before the Committee on Transportation that he had found no difference between emancipist and other traders in Sydney, and regarded it as a sort of fashion to talk of distrusting them. In spite of the evidence of Sir E. Parry, the committee adopted the general view as to the absence of morality amongst the wealthy emancipists ; of those who were... not wealthy, and who naturally formed the bulk of the class, the com- mittee reported that most of them retained the habits of profligacy which had led them into crime, and that they were responsible for the greater portion of the crimes committed in the colony. This^ agrees with Governor Arthur's opinion of them in Van Diemen's Land, where they were undoubtedly the worst class of the population, but their numbers and importance were far less in the island colony than in New South Wales. As might be expected, there were some notable excep- tions to the sweeping condemnation which well-informed contemporary opinion pronounced against the emancipists as a class ; some of them lived respectable lives, spent the wealth which they acquired in very much the same way as equally rich persons of any other class, and were in every way estimable citizens, notwithstanding their criminal antecedents.
