The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

CHAPTER III
233/620

I assure you I am up to your tricks.
Mr.ANDREW SIMPSON would be glad if his Excellency would speak individually.

There was a paper called the West Indian, and another the Colonial Freeman.

He wished to know whether his Excellency meant either of those papers.

[Some slight interruption here took place, several gentlemen speaking at the same time.] His EXCELLENCY said he had not come to discuss politics, but to endeavour to get the people to work, and it would be well for them to turn their attention to that subject.
Mr.SIMPSON said he had a gang who had jobbed by the acre, and had done well, but it was unfortunate in other respects to observe the disinclination shown by the laborers to work.

He wished them to know that they must work, and trusted that his Excellency would endeavour to force them to labor.
Sir LIONEL--I can't compel them to do as you would wish, nor have I the power of forcing them to labor.
