Lushington to Buxton, asking him what was to be done about Labouchère's Bill for suspending the House of Assembly in Jamaica for five years because it had refused to act, 12 Apr 1839
If defeated, it could bring down the government and seriously affect emancipation in Jamaica. He urges Buxton and the Anti-Slavery Body to support the government on this matter, believing that the bad legislation could then be destroyed and replaced by good laws. Finally, he mentions his feeling of isolation now that Josiah Sturge had gone abroad and asks Buxton to write to him.
