Lord Sligo was remarkable for his statistical accuracy.

Reports were made to him by the special magistrates every week.

No act of injustice or oppression could escape his indefatigable inquiries.

He was accessible, and lent an open ear to the lowest person in the island.

[Footnote A: When Lord Sligo visited the United States in the summer of 1836, he spoke with great respect of Mr.Hill to Elizur Wright, Esq., Corresponding Secretary of the American Anti-Slavery Society.
