Light edge wear a couple of numerical accession stamps Very Good.<br/><br/> The Correspondence concerns Thomas Tulley and six other Irish passengers of the steamer 'Nova Scotian'" who allegedly enlisted "improperly" into the 20th Maine Regiment at Portland. Lord Lyons claims "they were subjected to hardships and indignities of a most unwarrantable kind on their way from the army of the Potomac to Portland." For unspecified reasons they were taken under guard "well nigh starved as they had at one time to march three successive days without a mouthful of food and consequently were reduced to eating clover and green apples to support nature. They remonstrated with the authorities stating that they were not prisoners. but foreigners proceeding to Portland under British protection." <br/> Secretary of State Seward assures Lord Lyons that he is looking into the matter.

Near Fine.<br /> <br /> These books print observations and official dispatches beginning in 1871 that tell the story of the Barbados insurrection beginning in 1876. "Slavery in Barbados was abolished in 1834. . . Despite gaining their freedom in the sense of no longer being 'owned' officially life for plantation workers remained difficult for many years. Perhaps the same children whose parents avoided having them apprenticed became involved 40 years later in the Confederation Riots of 1876. The primary cause of these riots is often cited as the proposed confederation of Barbados and the Windward Islands. However it is very likely that this was one cause of many and the primary reason for unrest and unhappiness was down to pay working and living conditions. The 'despatches' of 1875 describe cases of death by starvation - one of a baby whose mother had had to return to work weeks after giving birth and could not feed her daughter often enough or worked so hard so soon that she could not produce enough milk. According to the rector of the Parish Church this was a common occurrence. . . Cases such as this were the primary causes of unrest in Barbados in the 1870s. These cases illustrate the difficulties faced by the descendants of enslaved African-Caribbeans and the long lasting legacy of the slave trade." online The National Archives essay 'When did plantation workers in Barbados truly become free'.

The majority of the grievances were directed at the authoritarian regime of Lord Dalhousie as governor of Lower Canada and Governor-in-Chief of British North America 1820-28 when he was recalled. Included are grievances relating to Dalhousies establishment of a new Quebec Gazette his censure of Sir Francis Burton for having sanctioned a Bill of Supply his dismissal of militia officers and exercise of intimidation during elections his dismissal of justices of the peace and the unfair manner of jury selection. "Among other things the Montreal petitioners complained that contrary to the laws of England juries both grand and petty and both King's Bench and Quarter Sessions were being drawn exclusively from the town of Montreal rather than from the district at large. The committee chaired by Denis-Benjamin Viger concluded that this practice of jurors being "selected or as it were packed - summoned exclusively from among the inhabitants of a particular place or from a particular class - cannot be more compatible with liberty than it is with the rules of impartial justice. It is repugnant to every principle of our government and can only tend to the overthrow of the constitution of the country .The executive's control over the process of selecting juries became for the Patriotes yet another symbol of despotism and of the attempted exclusion of canadiens from their democratic rights given that they predominated in the countryside; a number of highly political jury trials for libel and sedition did nothing to help matters. The controversy only began to die down from 1830 when James Kempt ordered that jurors be drawn from the body of the district; the denouement came in 1832 when the legislature adopted a law regulating the qualification and selection of jurors " Donald Fyson Grand Juries Political Power And Citizenship In Quebec And Lower Canada 1764-1830 a paper for the 77th annual meeting of the Canadian Historical Association Ottawa May 1998TPL 1549.
