Lord Sligo to Lord Suffield, about the unwillingness of Black people to work in Jamaica, the cruelties practised on some of the estates, and his dismissal of six special magistrates because of their cruelty to the Black people under their authority, 5 Nov [1834]
He records the opinion of the Bishop Jamaica about admitting Anglican missionaries without licensing them, the respective qualities of missionaries of the different sects in the island, the need for a smaller coinage in the island, his anxiety over the imminent sugar crop, the slave trade in Cuba, and the conflict between himself and the House of Assembly over two Bills that he refused to allow.
