PERSECUTION IN JAMAICA.
The attention of the Friends of Religion, Justice, and
Freedom, is earnestly solicited to certain iniquitous proceed-
ings which have recently taken place in Jamaica, which if not
promptly and vigourously met, threaten, not only the ruin of
those against whom they have been directed, but the destruc-
tion of that liberty which has been purchased for the Negro, at
so costly a sacrifice.
At the Assizes for the County of Cornwall, held at Montego
Bay, in July last, various actions were brought, under different
pretexts, against several well known friends of the labouring
classes in that Island. Amongst the victims of these proceed-
ings, were a Clergyman of the'ClinrefraftEngland,-a Missionary
belonging to the Baptist Society, and some of the Magistrates,
specially appointed for the protection of the emancipated popu-
lation, in each of which cases, the jurors have decided against
the party accused, and in most of them, with enormous da-
mages, under circumstances which can leave no doubt that
the design is to ruin those whose hatred of oppression, has ren-
dered them obnoxious to the enemies of freedom.
At the same Assizes, a criminal information filed by order of
the Court against the Editor of a Local Newspaper, for grossly
defaming a Baptist Minister, was tried, and the jury,•without
the formality of retiring to consider their verdict, immediately
acquitted the defendant, contrary to the express direction of
the Chief Justice, and the plaintiff was left with his injuries un-,
redressed, and a heavy amount of legal expenses to pay.
These violent and reckless proceedings appear to have pro-
duced a greater excitement than has been known in the Island,
since the insurrection in 1832.

The Negroes behave with admirable moderation, but they
feel most deeply at the prospect of their best friends and pro-
tectors, of whom it was once sought to deprive them by brute
force, now falling victims to the more specious, but not less ef-
fectual weapons of oppression in the form of legal proceedings.
The Juries, on these occasions, were almost wholly com-
posed of persons belonging to a class, who have uniformly and
bitterly opposed the abolition of Slavery, and the friends of the
Anti-slavery cause, and there is no hope whatever of obtaining
justice for the parties against whom these verdicts have been
given but by an appeal to the Court of Error in the Island,
and if requisite, to the ultimate tribunal in this country, which
will involve heavy legal expenses, in addition to those already
incurred.

To meet these Expenses, an earnest appeal is now made to
the liberality of the British public.
The following Gentlemen have been appointed a Committee,
with power to add to their number, to lay the particulars of
these atrocious proceedings fully before the Public, to promote
Subscriptions for the purposes contemplated, and similar cases
of oppression, and to superintend the appropriation of the funds
collected.
