Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery, Monthly Reporter, Vol. 4: Commencing January 1831, and Ending December 1831 We have already referred in No. 71 (p. 496), and No. 72 (p. 505), to a volume laid on the table of the House of Commons by Sir George Murray, on the 16th July, 1830, numbered 676, but which has been only recently made public. It is entitled "Papers presented to Parliament by his Majesty's Command, in explanation of the Measures adopted by his Majesty's Government, for the Melioration of the Condition of the Slave Population in his Majesty's Possessions in the West Indies, on the Continent of South America, and at the Mauritius, in continuation of the Papers presented in the year 1829, No. 333." We proceed to give an abstract of them in the order in which they stand. 1. Jamaica. A letter from Lord Belmore, dated 20th Dec, 1829, transmits a copy of the new Jamaica Slave Code, to which his Lordship, contrary, it seems, to his instructions, had given his assent, without appearing to have been conscious that in doing so he was guilty of a dereliction of his public duty. He laments, indeed, one clause in the Bill, and one only, which he says creates an invidious distinction between sectarians and ministers of the established church; but he seems to have entirely forgotten that he had been absolutely prohibited from assenting to any law already disallowed by his Majesty, or from passing any persecuting enactment whatever without a suspending clause. Now this act of 1829 was nearly the same act, and it embodied the same persecuting clauses contained in that of 1826, which had been disallowed by Mr. Huskisson, and in that of 1827, to which, under the express orders of the Government, Sir John Keane, then Governor, had refused his assent. "As the bill," his Lordship says, "upon the whole, is certainly more favourable to the Slave that that of 1826, I could not feel myself justified in refusing my assent to it." We have carefully collated the two acts, and we venture to say, that it would greatly puzzle Lord Belmore to state a single substantial amelioration in that of 1829, as compared with that of 1826, while we could specify more than one deterioration. But both laws being defunct, we need not waste time in analyzing them; and as to the course pursued by the Noble Lord, the necessity of any remark of ours upon his conduct, is precluded by the masterly despatch of Sir G. Murray, which exhibits a perfect model of calm, firm, and dignified reproof. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: February 1, 1831 As early as the month of December, 1827, immediately on the close of the Inquiry, in the Reporter numbered 31, we took occasion briefly to explain some of the reasons which appeared to us to have produced that determination; on not one of which, though he must have read the article in question, has he condescended to bestow the slightest notice. For his sake therefore, as well as for the sake of those to whom his letter is addressed, we will now transcribe the passage. After a brief review of the effect of the evidence adduced before the Privy Council on that occasion, we thus proceed.

The protector had only to ascertain simply whether the mistress had broken the law. Whenever it is ascertained, or even when there is a presumption that the law has been broken, it is no part of the Protector's intended functions, that he should exercise a disere tion to dispense with the prosecution; nor am I able to discover the reasons by which he was guided in the discretion which he exercised in this particular case.

Case Of Betto Douglas, A St. Kitt's Slave - United States - Slave Population Of West Indies. We have before us the official details, (No. 187 of 1st May, 1827, ) as recently printed by order of the House of Commons, of a case from the Island of St. Kitt's, which affords some striking illustrations of the spirit and influence of slavery - not merely as it prompts the master to acts of cruelty and oppression, but as it operates to subvert and vitiate the best sympathies of our nature, to such an extent as to render slaveholders, generally speaking, unfit to discharge the functions of legislation or of judicature towards the enslaved population. The particulars of the present case are as follow: - Betto Douglas is a Mulatto slave, about fifty-two years of age, belonging to the Earl of Romney. Some years previous to the present transactions she had requested Mr. Goldfrap, one of Lord Romney's attorneys on his estates in St. Christopher's, to solicit for her the proprietor's permission to be allowed to purchase the freedom of her two sons. The request was complied with; and this poor slave had the delight of thus securing the freedom of her offspring, probably under an impression that she might not live long enough to effect her own liberation as well as theirs. Mr. Goldfrap, in a letter to Governor Maxwell states, that he had on that occasion strongly recommended Betto Douglas to Lord Romney's favourable consideration, which recommendation his lordship seemed to construe as a wish that she should be manumitted; and, as Mr Goldfrap, who at that time ceased to be his agent, understood, had issued orders to his new attorney to that effect. Several years however elapsed, and no steps for her enfranchisement were taken. She had been allowed to reside in a house, apart from the estate, but was obliged, by the new agent, to pay a certain sum (three dollars and a half) per month to Lord Romney. The following is her own account when interrogated before the magistrates: - "Mr Cardin told me I must go and work out for three and half dollars a month. I told him I was not able to give that price: and he would insist, and I went. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

We are continually reproached with dwelling on individual instances of cruelty, which, as they may occur in the best regulated community, prove nothing as to the general state of law and manners which may prevail in it. But here we have wholze communities, acting by their representatives freely chosen, strenuously contending for the continuance of this monstrous and revolting power of lacerating, at their pleasure, the prostrate bodies of their dependants, and pertinaciously clinging to it, as if it was their life. They seem to hug the cart - whip to their bosoms as their glory, their grand badge (if distinction. And not only are those, it would seem, ready to fight for it, who actually wield it, who exult in its explosions, and whose 'lust of power is gratified by directing and witnessing its application; but by forty-one chosen advocates of the West India body, residing among ourselves, mixing in our assemblies, joining our convivial par ties, occupying seats in our imperial senate, and claiming the name and the character of English gentlemen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter, Vol. 3: For June, 1830 That in addition to the physical evils of slavery, the moral and re ligious condition of the slave population in the British colonies has long claimed the commiseration of every benevolent mind, a claim which is greatly strengthened by recent occurrences, and particularly by the in tolerant acts of the legislature of Jamaica, and by the persecution which Christian missionaries and their negro converts have had to endure, and are still enduring in that island; and this meeting desire to urge it upon Christians of every denomination, and especially upon all Christian ministers, to manifest the grateful sense they entertain of their own re ligious blessings, by uniting their efforts to vindicate to the unhappy negro his equal right to the unobstructed enjoyment of the light and liberty of the Gospel.
