2nd TERM READING

2ND TERM READING: A CONVICT'S TALE 

               ENGLAND IN 18TH CENTURY                               

Severe financial problems begin for Ann Telford, her mother Edna and her brother William about a year after Ann’s father dies. Although Edna Telford works as a maid, there is only enough money for basic food and other necessities. One evening, Mrs Telford doesn’t return home. Ann goes to the house of her mother’s employer and learns from the butler that her mother is at the police station. Mrs Telford is accused of stealing wool from her employer. Later, in court, Mrs Telford admits that she stole some wool to make warm scarves for her children, although she planned to return the wool later. The jury finds her guilty and her punishment is death by hanging.

AUSTRALIA: Captain Cook sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia in 1770. He claimed the area for the British government and named it New South Wales. After the loss of the American colonies, the government sent the First Fleet with 11 convict ships under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip to establish a penal colony there. They arrived on 20th January 1788 and founded Port Jackson which later became known as Sydney. Because of its isolation, Australia was considered ideal as a penal colony.
