Excerpt: ... the common law: the only difference with regard to the apprenticeship of persons who were slaves, being this, that the test of slavery, which is 'due registration, ' is requisite to the bringing the emancipated slave within the restrictive operation of the law. If a consequence of freedom be the proper understanding of one's rights and duties, a man cannot be lawfully controlled by another, without information on the nature and character of the dominant right. The registration of apprentices seems clearly analogous to the registration of vessels under the navigation laws, which declare confiscation the penalty of non-registration; and the non-production of the Register, presumptive evidence of piracy or illegal trading, which justifies her seizure, and condemnation at law." Grand Court, Spanish Totem. Tuesday, June 6, 1837. Bayley v. Ewart.--" Mr. Justice Bernard delivered his reasons for dissenting from the judgment of the majority of the count, as follows: -- Mr. Justice Bernard.--" The plaintiff in this case seeks to recover his immediate discharge from the remainder of the term of apprenticeship, created by the acts for the abolition of slavery; and the fact upon which he rests his claims is, that, although returned by his former owner, and included among his slaves as required by the 57th Geo. Ill, chap. 15, commonly called the Registry Act, for the years 1817, 1820, 1823, 1826, and 1829; yet, inasmuch as he was not included in any return for 1832, he has not been duly registered in conformity with the laws in force in this island; that he therefore did not pass into apprenticeship, under the 1st clause of the 3rd and 4th William IV, c. 73, and did not incur the obligation imposed by that act, and that of consequence under the...

This book was released on 2001-07-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings back into print, for the first time since the 1830s, a text that was central to the transatlantic campaign to fully abolish slavery in Britain’s colonies. James Williams, an eighteen-year-old Jamaican “apprentice” (former slave), came to Britain in 1837 at the instigation of the abolitionist Joseph Sturge. The Narrative he produced there, one of very few autobiographical texts by Caribbean slaves or former slaves, became one of the most powerful abolitionist tools for effecting the immediate end to the system of apprenticeship that had replaced slavery. Describing the hard working conditions on plantations and the harsh treatment of apprentices unjustly incarcerated, Williams argues that apprenticeship actually worsened the conditions of Jamaican ex-slaves: former owners, no longer legally permitted to directly punish their workers, used the Jamaican legal system as a punitive lever against them. Williams’s story documents the collaboration of local magistrates in this practice, wherein apprentices were routinely jailed and beaten for both real and imaginary infractions of the apprenticeship regulations. In addition to the complete text of Williams’s original Narrative, this fully annotated edition includes nineteenth-century responses to the controversy from the British and Jamaican press, as well as extensive testimony from the Commission of Enquiry that heard evidence regarding the Narrative’s claims. These fascinating and revealing documents constitute the largest extant body of direct testimony by Caribbean slaves or apprentices.

This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines childhood and slavery in Jamaica from the onset of improved conditions for the island's slaves to the end of all forced or coerced labor throughout the British Caribbean. As Colleen A. Vasconcellos discusses the nature of child development in the plantation complex, she looks at how both colonial Jamaican society and the slave community conceived childhood—and how those ideas changed as the abolitionist movement gained power, the fortunes of planters rose and fell, and the nature of work on Jamaica's estates evolved from slavery to apprenticeship to free labor. Vasconcellos explores the experiences of enslaved children through the lenses of family, resistance, race, status, culture, education, and freedom. In the half-century covered by her study, Jamaican planters alternately saw enslaved children as burdens or investments. At the same time, the childhood experience was shaped by the ethnically, linguistically, and culturally diverse slave community. Vasconcellos adds detail and meaning to these tensions by looking, for instance, at enslaved children of color, legally termed mulattos, who had unique ties to both slave and planter families. In addition, she shows how traditions, beliefs, and practices within the slave community undermined planters' efforts to ensure a compliant workforce by instilling Christian values in enslaved children. These are just a few of the ways that Vasconcellos reveals an overlooked childhood—one that was often defined by Jamaican planters but always contested and redefined by the slaves themselves.
