to have belonged to Mr. John Grant of Bachelor's 

 Adventure. When the East Coast Insurrection broke 

 out, in 1823, one of his slaves named Harriet took the 

 desk with its valuable contents and buried it until 

 the rebels dispersed. Among the documents was a power 

 of attorney from the Gladstones (including the ex-Pre- 

 mier), to James Stuart, and another power of attorney, 

 authorising the holder to receive compensation for slaves. 

 There were also several old passports, licences, and a 

 permit to remain in the colony. A Catalogue of the 

 exhibits was printed and the readers of Timehri may 

 have copies on application. 



A continual stream of visitors inspe6led the exhibits 

 during two days and the Conversazione in the evening 

 ot the 1 8th was crowded.
