Records of ticket of leave passports
A prisoner holding a ticket of leave needed to have official permission to
move outside the district for which his ticket was issued. A ticket of
leave passport is often indicated on convict records with the annotation
PP. The passport was usually issued for a 12 month period after which
time it could be renewed and another passport issued for a further
period. A ticket of leave passport specifies that the convict be allowed to
travel between two localities, usually for work purposes, and may
mention the employer's name.
