The shove facts summed up amount TO this.
That the government OF Jamaica Is tyranny /
Of the ncancst Kind, end that the oppression
against which our rtvolutlonsry hthers |
struck In 1775-83, WIS the g1afo OF noondsy

three bunf1red of HIS followers who eetze;7 tha
police, ironed them, and having obtained
their parole Of honor not to injurc Boyle, DIS
charged them without injury. This occurred
on the 7th ult. Each party seems then 10
