“On the members resuming their seats, Mr. HART proposed that it be an instruction to the committee appointed to bring in the bill or abolishing the remainder of the apprenticeship, to insert a clause in it, that the operation of that bill should commence on the 28th of June, that being the day appointed for the coronation of the Queen. He felt proud in telling the house that he was the representative of the black population.  He was sent there by the blacks and his other friends.  The white Christians had their representatives, the people of color had their representatives, and he hoped shortly to see the day when the blacks would send in their own representatives.  He wanted the thing done at once, Sir, said the honorable member waxing warm.  It was nonsense to delay it.  It could be done in three lines as he said before, dele 1840 and put in 1838.  That was all that they had to do.  If it were possible, let the thing be done in two words.  He went there to do his duty to his constituents, and he was determined to do so.  His black friends looked up to him to protect them—­and he would press his motion that all the apprentices in the island should be crowned on the 28th of June. (Thundering roars of laughter.) He was as independent as any honorable member, and would deliver his sentiment, without caring who were and who were not pleased.  He was possessed of property in apprentices—­he had an estate with nearly two hundred negroes, that he was determined to crown on the 28th of June. (Increased roars of laughter in the house, and at the bar.) He would not be laughed down.  His properties were not encumbered.  He would not owe anything on them after they were paid for, and that he could do. (Loud laughter.) He was determined to have his opinion.  As he had said before, the 28th day of June being fixed for the coronation of all the negroes in the island, that is the day they ought to be released from the apprenticeship.  (Thundering and deafening roars of laughter). (Here the honorable member was told that the Queen was to be crowned on that day.) Ah, well, he had made a mistake, but he would tell the house the truth, he had made up his mind to give his apprentices freedom on that day, but he did not wish to do it without his neighbors doing the same, lest they should say he was setting a bad example.  He would press his motion to a division.  It had been seconded by his honorable friend on his right.—­(Aside, “Good, didn’t you promise to second it?”) The honorable member then read his motion, and handed it up to the clerk.”
