Mr.Wright has furnished us with the following statement:--"Just before his lordship left this city for England, he bore testimony to us substantially as follows:--'When I went to Jamaica, Mr.Hill was a special magistrate.

In a certain case he refused to comply with my directions, differing from me in his interpretation of the law.

I informed him that his continued non-compliance must result in his removal from office.

He replied that his mind was made up as to the law, and he would not violate his reason to save his bread.

Being satisfied of the correctness of my own interpretation, I was obliged, of course, to remove him; but I was so forcibly struck with his manly independence, that I applied to the government for power to employ him as my secretary, which was granted.
