i was looking through irish transportation records today when i came across a record of a man who was sent to australia for the crime of "ribbonism"!
did a goggle and found this;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ribbonmeni hadn't heard the term before and just thought i'd post it in case someone comes up with it in their searching.
apparently you didn't need to commit the crimes that they commited, just having a green ribbon in your possession was enough to get you a free boat trip to the southern hemisphere
