The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 2 of 4

CHAPTER V
59/77

Mr.Jordon now sits in the same Assembly, side by side, with the man who, a few years ago, ejected him disdainfully from his clerkship.

He is a member of the Assembly for the city of Kingston, where not long since he was imprisoned, and tried for his life.

He is also alderman of the city, and one of its local magistrates.

He is now inspector of the same prison in which he was formerly immured as a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition.
The secretary of the special magistrate department, Richard Hill, Esq., is a colored gentleman, and is one of the first men in the island,[A] for integrity, independence, superior abilities, and extensive acquirements.

It has seldom been our happiness to meet with a man more illustrious for true nobility of soul, or in whose countenance there were deeper traces of intellectual and moral greatness.
