Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slave Law of Jamaica, 1828: With Proceedings and Documents Relative Thereto Consistently with this legislative declaration of the importance to the mother country of her colonies in the West Indies, many acts of Parliament have been passed, encouraging and stimulating their culti vation by British capital; and one act was passed expressly to invite and to secure investments or loans from foreigners for that purpose; Geo III. Cap. 14) -and, as a further stimulus to such loans from British subjects or from aliens, a charge of 6 per cent. Interest was subsequently rendered legal.-(l4 Geo. III. Cap. - Slaves and their issue are expressly, by these and other authorities, treated as property liable to mortgage or other lien and, together with the lands, buildings, &c. To which they give value, they have accordingly been pledged as security to British subjects and others, in full reliance upon this legislative1 sanction, to an immense amount. A passage or two, in the judgment given, on the 6th November last, in the case of the woman named Grace, by the venerable and learned judge who presides in the High Court of Admiralty, may, on this subject, be referred to as unquestionable authority. - See Report of Lord Stowell's judgment, published by Haggard, from his Lord ship's notes.

Download or read book No Bond but the Law written by Diana Paton and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the cultural, social, and political histories of punishment during ninety years surrounding the 1838 abolition of slavery in Jamaica, Diana Paton challenges standard historiographies of slavery and discipline. The abolition of slavery in Jamaica, as elsewhere, entailed the termination of slaveholders’ legal right to use violence—which they defined as “punishment”—against those they had held as slaves. Paton argues that, while slave emancipation involved major changes in the organization and representation of punishment, there was no straightforward transition from corporal punishment to the prison or from privately inflicted to state-controlled punishment. Contesting the dichotomous understanding of pre-modern and modern modes of power that currently dominates the historiography of punishment, she offers critical readings of influential theories of power and resistance, including those of Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, and Ranajit Guha. No Bond but the Law reveals the longstanding and intimate relationship between state formation and private punishment. The construction of a dense, state-organized system of prisons began not with emancipation but at the peak of slave-based wealth in Jamaica, in the 1780s. Jamaica provided the paradigmatic case for British observers imagining and evaluating the emancipation process. Paton’s analysis moves between imperial processes on the one hand and Jamaican specificities on the other, within a framework comparing developments regarding punishment in Jamaica with those in the U.S. South and elsewhere. Emphasizing the gendered nature of penal policy and practice throughout the emancipation period, Paton is attentive to the ways in which the actions of ordinary Jamaicans and, in particular, of women prisoners, shaped state decisions.
