Description of events at Barrett Hall estate during Sam Sharpe's War (1831-2):

"Some days afterwards we were ordered to march to St James's. We came to Barrett-Hall estate, the property of Mr. Speaker Barrett. In approaching the estate we met a man on the road, who became terrified at our appearance, and jumped over a wall to escape: the whole company immediately fired upon him; he was struck but rose again, and ran, bleeding; again he fell, rose up again, and several times fell and rose, running a few paces each time-- the militia still firing on him. At length, one of the troopers sprang over the wall, went up to the poor creature, and began to hack and chop him with his sword, but without killing him; when finally, one of the others finished the brutal tragedy, by shooting him through the head.

"None of the people on Barrett-Hall had left the estate. They were all called out, and ranged in a row, the men separate from the women. The major (Dr. Neilson) demanded of the head-driver, who it was that pulled down the proclamation that had been posted on the door of the works. He denied any knowledge about it. Major Neilson then ordered the company to direct their pieces at the driver, and if he offered to move, to blow his brains out. Neilson then addressed the gang, and said, 'if they did not point out the man who had done it, he would shoot them from right to left;' and turning to the driver once more, he demanded 'who it was;' the driver immediately pointed out a fine handsome fellow as the delinquent. In an instant Neilson gave the fearful order-- 'take that fellow to the rear, and shoot him.' He was seized, and had just time to call out, 'O Lord, massa, don't kill me,' when just as he passed the rear rank, a blood-thirsty wretch, named Watson, anxious to be foremost in the work of death, levelled his gun close to my breast, the mizzle within six inches of the poor man, and fired; the ball passed through his wrist, then into the mouth and through the back of his head, and he fell dead without a groan! The scene that followed beggars description. The poor slaves were overwhelmed with terror; some threw themselves on their knees, and raised their hands to heaven, under the impression that the slaughter of the whole was intended; the women and children screamed fearfully, and the whole of them in the most piteous manner begged that their lives might be spared. After some fierce threats of vengeance in case of any thing going wrong, we were drawn off, and returned to Bounty-Hall. On the way we were divided into small parties hunting for negroes-- it reminded me of a pack of harriers on the scent after hares. We met with no one on whom to gratify the planter's thirst for blood."
