Penes to ;at Address of the Honourable the House of Commons.
dated !Ranh 13, 1827, for Cosies of all Dispatches which his
Majesty's tioyerntisent have received from Jamaica, relative to
an Attack made on the Weiler.° Alissionzry Alerting house,
and the Dwelling of Mr. Ratcliffe. the Alivionary, at Christmas
last ; as far as the same have been received.

made by Dr. Lu•liiiigion. for an inquiry into the circumstances of
an attack which is stated to have be, ti made duru•g the late Christ.
out hol!days, fill the residence of a Wesleyan Minister residing at
St. Ann'. Ilay, I think it proper to inform your Lordship, without
waiting for your Lordship's instructions to that effect, that no Re.
port ti..s been made to me of this unfortunate occurrence, and I
Aare only hard of it casually. As far as I can learn, it %Va. a
Osurileu fr.,l:c amongst some of the privates on guard, intended to
alarm t:te Wesleyan Missionaries. I have never heard, nor du I
beli•rr, that it was connected with, or the consequence of, the
oron,r. peached oy the Rector of she parish, but was entirely
sopretueditated, however much the outrage committed is to be
reprobated and deplored.
I hive lately learned from the Attorney-General that a strict
isvestig-tion, which lasted many days, took place c.si the part 'lithe
Magistrates, assisted by a Barrister, who was a Wesleyan himself ;
....I no evidence could be brought forward sufficient to induce a
Grand Jury to find a Pill. Under these circumstances, it was
ec.med more prudent to offer a reward of lOW. for the conviction
of the offenders ; and it was hoped, that by appearing to let the
matter drop, some of the parties concerned in the :lot might be
induced to make some disclosures which would lead to the punish-
inem of the delinquents.
• Your Ixardslop is, of course, aware that this event took place after
the :omission of the Session.

.....
In regard to the sermon preached by the Rector of St. Ann, and
which is so strongly commented on by Dr. Lushington, I under-
stand that it has been repeatedly pteached before in this Island;
that it vas nut written by Mr. Bridges, but by the late Archdeacon
of Culciester. And as it has been stated by Dr. Lushington that
Mr. liMiLes receives a yearly sum of 500!. from the public of
Jamaica for a pamphlet which he wrote some years ago, It is only
proper that such a mistatement should be corrected, as the only
sum that Gentleman ever teceived from the Assembly was .5001.
sterling, in order to afford hiss the means of publishing his" Annals
at Lataica."
I shall take care t s forward to your Lordship soch detailed in-
formrion as I may he able to obtain respecting the affair at St.
Anti's Bay. I shall also transmit to your Lordship a copy of Mr.
firdges's sermon. in the meantime I can venture to assure your
lordship with perfect confidence, that there has been no participa-
nun of public feeling in the outrage there committed ; that Mission-
aries of all descriptions are treated with respect and moderation,
asd any attempt to insult or oppress them would meet with general
reprobation. I have, &c.
