Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 5: October 1, 1832 With his wife and adopted family now assembled around him, the old man (so Mr. Barclay styles him) perhaps looked forward to the enjoyment of comfort in their society during the remaining years of his life; but his prospect of happiness was soon closed. A new overseer came to Chiswick estate, who, upon some cause of complaint against Joseph, sent him to the workhouse of St. Thomas in the East! There strict discipline, hard labour, and hard fare, wore down his body and his spirit. He returned to Chiswick, at the term of his confinement, an altered man; and a few months closed the career of this wealthy slave, (the other name by which Mr. Barclay designates him). We do not mean, adds the editor, to accuse the overseer of Chiswick of hav ing acted with causeless severity towards Joseph Marriott; he had been an indulged slave, and perhaps forgot his station nor would we lead our readers to under stand that he was treated in the St. Thomas' in the East workhouse with a harshness beyond the discipline of a house of correction: he had been an ia dulged slave, and was now an old man, ' and the consequence we have described might haw; been produced without unusual severity. We wish only to show the working of the present system of slavery and to lead our readers to appreciate the words of Mr. Barclay, when he says here is a wealthy slave purchasing the manumission of a woman with a large family, ' who had yet no wish to change his own condition.'

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: August 20, 1831 If the slave were guilty, there was a tribunal before which to bring her. 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.

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: March 1, 1831 That a speech like the one alluded to, exposing so fully the evils of slavery in all their hideousness, could have been delivered without producing a strong feeling in the minds of all, who have either heard or have read it, it would be taxing our credulity too heavily to believe; and if we take into consideration, the fact of all Mr. Thorpe's state ments being substantially correct, and that he has merely delineated.

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: June 25, 1831 But let us contemplate more nearly and particularly the whole enormity of this clause. 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.

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: July 12, 1831 As soon as Mr. Taylor, who resided near Kingston, had recovered from his illness, he repaired to Clarendon, and applied to Mr. French, the custos of the parish, to summon a council of protection to investi gate the outrage. The council of protection met, and did nothing. Two more councils of protection were subsequently summoned, with the same result. At length, a fourth council of protection, which was formed on the 19th of April, 1830, having examined the case, came to the conclusion, That the subject matter of this complaint is not pro perly cognizable by the council of protection; but that the owner of the slave Eleanor James has his remedy against the person or persons inflicting the punishment, if a slave or slaves, by indictment in the slave court; if by a free peisou or persons, by indictment in the quarter ses sions, or grand court.'

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: July 18, 1831 We trust that a copy of this well timed admonition has been sent to every governor ofa slave colony within the dominions of the crown. It would be impossible to enter very fully and particularly into the various complaints which are contained in the Protector's report, or are adverted to in the despatch of the Secretary of State, as occurring during the twelve months, from lst May, 1829 to 30th April, 1830. They amount to above 100, and Occupy upwards of 130 closely printed folio pages. All we can hope to do is to give a fair sample of them, and for that purpose we shall select a few which will convey to our readers a tolerably correct idea of the rest.

Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Reporter, Vol. 4: April 2, 1831 Pursuing the heights above the city of Dessalines, at their descent into the plains, the road passes along the borders of the La goon of the F3ter. The soil, subjected to the floods of the rainy season, is sandy and unproductive, but in the higher grounds, within and around the lake, it is equally fertile with any part of the neigh houting plain. These verdant marshes are the feeding grounds of many herds of cattle, finding shelter from sunshine and rain among the clumps of acacia and bamboos, festooned with flowered lianes, and contributing greatly to give life and diversity to the wild aspect of the Country.

[was returning on foot from thence when Iwas overtaken on the road by Colonel Fremont, who learning I was in the town had come in search of me to offer me the hospitality of his habitation. Thither I proceeded with the intention of remaining all night, and occupying the afternoon in seeing as much of the plains as I could survey on a short excursion.
