John Dyer, about the reports from missionaries on the state of Jamaica and his own failure the previous session to obtain the abolition of the apprenticeship system because the House of Commons and the people considered the system as a contract entered into with the plantation owners, 26 Dec 1836
He asks if he could produce witnesses to testify to the enormities there under the system when the Committee, which he expected to be reappointed, sat again, naming Burchell, who might be recalled from the West Indies. (Copy.)
