Description: By the late nineteenth century, the British empire's colonial periphery was a vast network of political territories and governments, laws, and mobile peoples. Although the historical study of mobility should not be reduced to an examination of immigration (Ballantyne 2014), the stories of immigrants arriving in colonial ports provide direct examples of movement in a highly mobile world. What has been termed ‘Empire migration’ created forms of mobility that ‘spawned a dizzying network’ of families, travellers, and community groups (Hammerton 2004, 179). Among them were vagrants: those whose mobility threatened the new social order of the settled.
