Jamaica," and reprinted in _Every Saturday_ (i. 50, Jan. 31, 1866), in
which Gov. Eyre is quoted as having said, in the London _Times_, "To the
fidelity and loyalty of the Maroons it is due that the negroes did not
commit greater devastation" in the recent insurrection; thus curiously
repeating the encomium given by Lord Balcarres seventy years before.]
