[Footnote A: Lord Belmore left the government of Jamaica, a short time before the abolition act passed in parliament.] Mr.K.conducted us through the negro quarters, which are situated on the hill side, nearly a mile from his residence.

We went into several of the houses; which were of a better style somewhat than the huts in Antigua and Barbadoes--larger, better finished and furnished.

Some few of them had verandahs or porches on one or more sides, after the West India fashion, closed in with _jalousies_.

In each of the houses to which we were admitted, there was one apartment fitted up in a very neat manner, with waxed floor, a good bedstead, and snow white coverings, a few good chairs, a mahogany sideboard, ornamented with dishes, decanters, etc.
From Amity Hall, we drove to Manchioneal, a small village ten miles north of the Plantain Garden River Valley.

We had a letter to the special magistrate for that district, R.Chamberlain, Esq., a colored gentleman, and the first magistrate we found in the parish of St.Thomas in the East, who was faithful to the interests of the apprentices.
