Thomas Hughes, esq, NJ. p, visited birmingham
on Thursday the 9th of December to speak in defense
Of the Jamaica Committees intended prosecution of
Mr.. Eyre. The meeting numerouSly attended
and the Mayor presided. In his address, Mr..
Hughes, after abiding to the sentiments uttered by
Mr. Disyael and Mr.. Adderey in the House of Com

martial law there was no responsibility 10 the civil

1921 to show that Government did not possess the
power to proclaim martial law in any portion of the
British dominons and therefore such power could
not be delegated to any colonial dependency. The
real question at issue in the Jamaica business, he
said, was whether prcrogaive or law should be SUI

British subjects of whatever color OF nationality,
the same liberties and privileges of which they
themselves hoastod. Speaking of the treatment of
subject and inferior races, nc said:
