The Parish was asked to help Grouville with patrolling Liberation Stories the coast looking for marauders and in 1690 both parishes were ordered to build a guardhouse at La Rocque.

By any standards this was mass migration comparable with the mass migration into Jersey in the 1830s and 1840s. Why and how did this happen, what sort of people were the emigrants and where did they settle in New Zealand? This paper seeks to explore these issues in respect of the emigration to New Zealand, although much of the analysis would be equally applicable to the emigration to Australia. The paper could be written only because of the excellent work by Keith Vautier in compiling a comprehensive database of 900 Channel Islanders who migrated to Australia and New Zealand.

  • Free Land and Peasant Proprietorship
    The Nineteenth Century, Volume 7. February, 1880 page 297 FREE LAND AND PEASANT PROPRIETORSHIP. Arthur Arnold. • We are on the threshold, as I believe and hope, of great changes in agriculture. The labourer is urging his claim for increased, or at least for undiminished wages; the farmer is embarrassed, and, in the corngrowing districts, is pinched by this pressure on the part of labour and by the low price of corn; the landlord, often with only a narrow margin of income after satisfying the incumbering charges upon his inalienable patrimony, is at his wits' end how to deal with entreaties for reduction of rent at a time when the cost of fashionable existence shows no sign of abatement. The agricultural labourer withholds his strength. An employer writes: 'I have known labourers decline to hoe turnips on piece-work, by which they might earn 48. a day, preferring to receive 2«. 6d. per day, and to limit the amount of work done.' The farmer is less careful in his cultivation. A farmer has stated that weeds have been allowed to get such hold upon the land that an outlay of 10,000,000l. would not suffice to bring back the higher cultivation which existed three or four years ago; and another, also in a letter to the Times, dealing with the same subject— the increasing impoverishment of corn land—declares that 'it is well known among farmers and agricultural valuers that there are hundreds of thousands of acres of land in this country which, even if prices and seasons were favourable, are not worth so much for occupation by fifty per cent, as they were a few years ago, because labour has been stinted.' The landlord, too, has not been backward in contributing to the decline of British agriculture.
