2 Then Mark, an abject, said unto Peter the Commissioner,

3 Now, how am I, as good an abject as thy heart camdesire,

4 Then Peter the Commissioner answered and said unto him, I pray thee, Mark, return unto my farm, for it is not meet that the tax 5 cold be required here in tbe'counlry ; but let them which dwell in the cities, and give unto their dogs that meat which should feed the poor and the downcast, let them, I say, pay the tax.

5 And Mark answered and said unto Peter the Commissioner, L0, is it not thus written? and ifthou dost notchoose me to gather the tax, then will I complain unto Augustus, and thou shalt be no longer Commissioner.

6 Then answered Peter the Commissioner, and said, Lo, thou consirainest me! therefore do I choose that: to gather the tax: Go, then, and do according to the decree, that the desire of thine heart may be fulﬁlled. Then wont Mark his way. , , 7 And in process of time, Mark came unto Thomas the son of James, unto‘Alexauder the son of Charles, unto Archibald the Rich, unto Robert the Elder, unto Patrick tire Cbildless, and unto divers others,rand said unto them, Pay mothetax which the de- cree ordereth, yea, pay instantly unto mc,,t ‘collector, the sum set forth in the decree. ' x 8 But Alexander the son of Charles and cross the son of James, Archibald the Rich, Robert the Deacon and Patrick the Childless, gave noheed unto Mark, and would not pay the tax. 9 Then wcut Mark the Collector unto Robert the Judge, and saith unto him, Thus shalt thou do:

10 Thou shalt summon Alexander the son ofCharles, Thomas. the son of James, Archibald the Rich, Robert the Elder and Pat—‘ rick the Cbildlcss, to appear before thee, and thou shalt give judgment against them for the tax.

11 And Robert the Judge answered and said unto him, Thou sayest well; so shall it be done unto them; yea, and as thy soul liveth, more also. And be summoned them.

12 And it‘came to pass that, according to the summons, Alex- ander the son of Charles, Thomas the son of James, Archibald the Rich, Robert the Deacon, and Palricktbe Cliildless, appeared before Robert the Judge on the last day Oftlie week, even Sutur- day, which was the third day ofthe month.

13 Then spake Robert the Judge, and saith unto them, Why have ye not paid your tax, as the decree of Augustus commanded you to (lo 9 -

14 Then answered Alexander the son of Charles, and saith,

those who owe small debts, and do not pay them: therefoie, verilytlinu host not given us sufﬁcient notice, seeing we have bad but four days instead of six. ' '

15 Then answered Robert the Judge, and saith, this plea avail- eth nought.

16 Then again spake Alexander the son of Charles, Theda-

Mark did not seek it till the tenth day thereo .

17 And Robert the Judge answered and said, Neither doth this plea avail thee might: therefore do I give judgment that ye.sliall pay the tax, and a ﬁne of one pound, because ye did not subscribe and give to Mark the Collector that return which the decree says ye shall give. '

18 Then spake Thomas the son'of James and said, As God livetli, and as thy soul livetb, O Judge, Mark the Collcctoj‘ did not seek the return; And so said they all. .

19 And the Judge answered and said, Is not my.,judgment given, and is it not like the laws ofthe Medes and Persians?

20 Then said they all, We appeal unto the Supreme Judge even unto the Cliichudge of the land. -

21 But Robert the Judge answered and said, \Ve will not grant you this appeal, my judgment is given: Augustus may say unto me, Thou shalt be no longer Judge, but 1 care not. To your tents, 0 Israel. And so they departed.

2'2 Then went Alexander the son ofCliarles unto Edward the Scribe, and saith unto him, Thus hath it happened unto us.

23 Wilt thou draw us up our petition and memorial unto Augustus, that we may receive justice at his hand ?.

21 And Edward the Scribe answered and said, I_will, but do thou give the facts and circumstances, and these will I put into a memorial, which Archibald the Rich shall present at the judg- ment seat of Augustus.

This, however, is not all. Through the blindness of these lawmakers, the Board of Education may and have, with im. punity, more than once, called teachers from every quarter ofthe Island, to examine them; and after some of them had travelled upwards of sixty miles, at an expense, no doubt, of fi‘om thirty to forty shillings of their poor wages, and a loss to their employers of a week of their services, they had to return home without being examined, and abandon all hopes of receiving the small pittance granted from the Trea- sury, or return, at the same troublesome and expensive rate and perhaps a third time, with equal uncertainty of meeting a quorum of these learned gentry, though they are paid at the rate of twenty shillings for-sit— hours—and all this, I’repeat, by the blind— House of Assembly, who spoiled
