emancipist (複数形 emancipists)

1. (Australia, historical) In penal colonies of early Australia, a convict who had been pardoned for good conduct; sometimes inclusively a convict whose sentence had completed, though one such was more usually called an expiree.
   • 1827, P. Cunningham, Two Years in New South Wales, The London Magazine, page 520,
     On Governor Macquarie′s departure the emancipists were again thrown into the shade, and not one ever visited the succeeding governor at a party of any description, nor did he ever dine even in company with a single emancipist, until the very close of his administration.
