A chance visit from General O'Brien, a prisoner on parole, who was accompanied by his friend, Lord Belmore, secured my release; and shortly afterwards I commenced an action for false imprisonment against Lord Privilege.

He alluded to the memorable declaration of Lord Belmore, (made memorable by the excitement which it caused among the colonists,) in his valedictory address to the assembly, on the eve of his departure for England.[A] "Gentlemen," said he, "the resources of this noble island will never be fully developed until slavery is abolished!"

[Footnote A: Lord Belmore left the government of Jamaica, a short time before the abolition act passed in parliament.]

Let the croakers remember the remarkable words of the Tory Lord, Belmore, the planter's friend, and be silent"The resources of this fine island will never be fully developed until slavery ceases."

Let her sons develope those resources which Lord Belmore with so much truth declared never would be developed until slavery had ceased.
