Excerpt from A Narrative of Events, Since the First of August, 1834
I AM about eighteen years old. I was a slave belonging to Mr. Senior and his sister, and was brought up at the place where they live, called Penshurst, in Saint Ann's parish, in Jamaica.
I have been very ill treated by Mr. Senior and the magis trates since the new law come in. Apprentices get a great deal more punishment now than they did when they was slaves the master take spite, and do all he can to hurt them before the free come - I have heard my master say, Those English devils say we to be free, but if we is to free, he will pretty well weaken we, before the six and the four years done we shall be no use to ourselves afterwards.

This gripping slave narrative details the harsh realities and brutal punishments endured by James Williams, an 18-year-old Jamaican apprentice, under the newly introduced apprenticeship system following the abolition of slavery. Despite initially being subjected to whippings and confinement in the notorious St. Ann's Bay workhouse, Williams' resilience shines through as he seeks justice and ultimately secures his freedom with the assistance of English philanthropists.
