[Name] Spring Vale  

During apprenticeship, Governor Sligo cited Spring Vale as a ‘bright example of kind and good conduct’, where ‘the beneficial effects of the humane system of management [were] exemplified’. ‘Spring Vale, under the management of Mr. James Wright Turner, exhibits an absence of complaint which is quite extraordinary. The most curious part of the case is, however, the effect of his management on the [enslaved people] he has recently hired from Dr. Loane, the member for that parish; they were proverbially, previously, the worst conditioned [enslaved people] in the parish; since they have been there, they are reported to have acted in the most correct manner, and no fault whatever has been attributed to them.’
