Notes

Abstract:
The statement is concerned with a series of incidences occurring throughout February and March, during and after martial law, when a number of Baptist missionaries were subject to religious persecution in Jamaica. Also contains references to the religious persecution of Wesleyan Methodist Missionaries in Falmouth. ( en )
General Note:
Includes a letter from the Earl of Mulgrave to Lord Viscount Goderich of the Colonial Office presenting a copy of the memorial and statement of the Baptist Missionaries; dated 19 April 1832. The memorial appeals to the Colonial Office to protect Baptist Missionaries living in Jamaica who have been subject to religious persecution from groups of European settlers. The memorial is signed by the following: Joshua Tinson, William Knibb, Edward Baylis, Joseph Burton, Henry C. Taylor, Samuel Nichols, John Clarke, Francis Gardner, William Whitehouse, Thomas F. Abbott, Josiah Barlow, Walter Dendy and John Kingdom. This is a second appeal in response to the government's failure to act upon the Proclamation of Authority.
