Transportation 海外殖民苦力

British rulers, sometimes, instead of hanging or other punishment, chose to transport convicts to other colonies as coolies to serve their prison sentences. On 20 December 1845 a report from Hong Kong Supreme Court:

Poo Apoo: stealing from a dwelling house, 15 years transportation

Kun Asam: larceny, 10 years transportation

Le Aung: stealing/breaking out prison, 15 years transportation

Chan Asan: house breaking/larceny, 15 years transportation

Cheok Aung: obtain money under false pretence, 12 months prison with hard labour

Ha Akoon: embazzel Queen’s Store, discharged

Chow Ayik: embazzel as servant, discharged

Lee Afook/Wong Atuk: robbery with violence, life

John D Ross: cutting with intent, 15 years

Low Fookshing: stabbing/murder, life

Boodeen: stabbing/murder, life

William Sherrot: abuse, acquitted

Thomas Wilson: sodomy. Guilty of assault only, 12 months prison

Loo Atuk: burglary/larceny, 15 years

Leong Atyee: murder, death

In 1880, it was reported that between 1866 and 1877 Police deported Chinese criminals from Hong Kong to Australia.
1880年有報導指，從1866到1877年警署把華裔罪犯從香港流放到澳大利亞。

幾年前, 遇上「領匯」The Link（現改名為「領展」Link REIT）CEO George Hongchoy 王國龍，感覺其英文姓氏不一般，詢問之。原來他的祖先約1870年代移居澳洲，海關誤把名字當成姓氏，從而延續至今。
早期刑罰又包括：鞭刑、罰錢、苦力監和示眾（定期）等
