".ATTACHMENT op Thi SLAM TO THIS CHAPLAIN.
" They seem to feelgreat.confidence in their Minis-
" ter, and often seise opportunities of having inter-
" course with him ; and their numerous little presents,
" and sorrow at partin4 with him, spewed their attach-
" meat in a most affecting manner.
66 GENERAL TREATMENT OP Till NEGROES.
" Previously to the commencement of their daily work,
" warm tea° is handed round to every individual. Their
" scene of labour from su wise to sun-set, is alleviated by
" two regular suspensions of half an hour for their break-
" fast, and an hour and a half for their dinner. Thi,
46 latter meal is dressed for them, against their return
" at noon, so that the interval is passed in refreshment,
without care or fatigue. While occupied in the field,
" draughts of water are constantly supplied, by a per
son appointed for that purpose, and in more weati-
.4 some work, a refreshing beverage of punch is very
46 frequently mixed and sent out to them. Their labour
" has been much lightened by the introduction of the
" plough, and it has been for years the object of the
" Agricultural Society, to devise and encourage mea-
" sum for diminishing manuaktoil.
" NATURE OF THE PUNISHMENTS.
" Punishments of a severe nature ate very rarely in-
-44 flicted, and the general substitution of confinement
" for corporal chastisement, has been found to answer
" all the ends of correction.

66 PRIVILEGE. OF TIM SLAVS&
" Every mother having eight children alive, has the
" undisputed enjoyment of the whole of Thursday, and
68 the Saturday afternoon, throughout the year, is al-
" lotted to those who have three living. The alternate
"Saturday afternoon only is granted to the other
64 labourers during the crop.
46 ATTENTION TO THE SICK.
" The Hospital is a new and very commodious
" building, there are five apartments, so constructed as
" to, admit safe ventilation, opening into a gallery for
" the use of convalescents. There is another division—al
" lying-in room, but it is entirely at the option of the
a mother to occupy this or her own house during the
"month—the visits of the Apothecary are daily, and
" a nurseattends constantly on the sick—in cases of
" dangerous illness, the very best medical or surgical
• aid is called in without hesitation, and without regard
•to expense. Very little labour is exacted from peg-
a sant females, and
.great consideration is shewn them.i
• while nursing their children ; each child receives a
" supply of baby linen, and, when a month old, is pre.
"seated with a dollar. There is a neat nursery,
• with a superintendant, in which the young children
*are kept, while their mothers are engaged at their
• work. Here they remain during the day, accessible
•to their parents till of an age fit to be employed in
" picking grass, sweeping the door, &c.
41 ALLOWAWCZ OP POOP.
_66 The portion of food allotted them, besides the meal
'• daily cooked for them, is so abundant, that they are
" enabled by the superfluity to pay for making their
cl9these to raise stock, and to sell a part at the town
• fihrket; Their houses are generally of stone, with a
• thatchifd roof; around them is a patch of land under
• beat cultivation ; and this little property they have
* permission to have, at their decease, to any relative
• or friend, being a slave on the estate.
66 INDULIIIIIICEI TO THE SLAVES.
. -

" At the end of the crop, a day is given up entirely
"to rejoicing. They have a dance in the yard, which
II the Attorney, Chaplain, and others, are invited to wit-
" nest, and a comfortable dinner is provided for them
"on the occasion. On the death of any one, the near
" relatives have the intermediate time between the de-
" cease and the interment, and all on the estate leave
" their work one hour earlier to attend the funeral.
" These regulations being pursued under the humane
!is direction of Forster Clarke, Esq. Attorney, and Mr.
04 Samuel Hinksoa, Manager, there are now fifty-
" three more slaves on the estate than there were in the,
" year 1815, though three Mulattoes have purchased
their liberty, and no-purchases been made.
"GENERAL DISPOSITION IN THE PLANTERS TO RETINA
" TO THE SLAVES THE BENEFITS OF RELIGIOUS Me
11 STRUCTIoN.
" A disposition on the side of the Proprietor to ins.ll
41 part, and of the Slave to receive religious instruction,
is evident; nor can there be a doubt but that au et&
dent system of religious tuition, interwoven with some
'" judicious immunities under the guidance of Clergy-
'4! men of the Established Church, throu3h the subor-
" dinate agency of catechists, will be readily embraced
" by most Proprietors, and will promote the gradual
" civilization and eternal good of the slaves themselves.
