HL Deb 13 April 1858 vol 149 c946

THE EARL OF CARNARVON, referring to a question which had been put to him by a noble and learned Lord (Lord Brougham) before the Easter recess, referring to an enactment of the Legislative Assembly of Jamaica, which he apprehended might tend to a revival of the slave trade, stated, that although the Bill, which had been received from the Legislature of Jamaica, contained many valuable provisions, still, as there were in it two or three objectionable clauses with regard to immigrants into that colony, the Government had had no alternative but to disallow the whole measure.
