This however was declined, and the Governor had to warn the negroes, as his predecessor had done, that the law would certainly be carried into execution by an adequate force, a threat which of course would have been useless if not backed by the presence. of an adequate force. The Governor therefore ordered an additional force to be sent to the place, so as to overawe any attempt at resistance which might be made. He at the same time got a Baptist minister who had used his influence on a former occasion to do so again, and doubtless his arguments were materially aided on both occasions by the presence of the adequate force. But the Governor's comments are worthy of attention: --"This case affords an illustration of the necessity in this country for a strong and efficient police force. Hartlands is within a few miles of Spanish Town, and I was able, therefore, to bring from Kingston a sufficient number of constables; but were a similar difficulty to occur in a distant part of the country, it, might be impossible to collect a sufficient force, and the apparent weakness of the Government would be a direct encouragement to the negroes to resist the law." So that it is manifest that the spirit of rebellion-was still so strong among the negroes, that they could only be restrained by the presence of an adequate force. And the late Governor, it was forgotten, had not such a force during martial law. The ordinary military force in the colony was but small, and the presence of the naval force more or less casual, and it will be seen that the present Governor stated the necessity for an increased military force in consequence of the disaffected condition of the negro, population.

The Natural, Moral, and Political History of Jamaica, and the Territories thereon Depending
Author: James Knight
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813945577
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 740
Book Description
Between 1737 and 1746, James Knight—a merchant, planter, and sometime Crown official and legislator in Jamaica—wrote a massive two-volume history of the island. The first volume provided a narrative of the colony’s development up to the mid-1740s, while the second offered a broad survey of most aspects of Jamaican life as it had developed by the third and fourth decades of the eighteenth century. Completed not long before his death in the winter of 1746–47 and held in the British Library, this work is now published for the first time. Well researched and intelligently critical, Knight’s work is not only the most comprehensive account of Jamaica’s ninety years as an English colony ever written; it is also one of the best representations of the provincial mentality as it had emerged in colonial British America between the founding of Virginia and 1750. Expertly edited and introduced by renowned scholar Jack Greene, this volume represents a colonial Caribbean history unique in its contemporary perspective, detail, and scope.
