CAPS TOWR, IVLY 8, 1838·

.\ preniling opinion seems to exist, that at the expi~tion Ill the Apprenticeship in the Colonie5, labour will b~ome

Dl'll!'; and particular allusion is made to that sort of la\lonr,

'u1ch is required for plantations or Agrituhure.-It is feared,

t~at the :\pprentices will either leave the plantations or farms,

and thus necesssary hands be withdrawn, or that thei will de·nand excessive wages, which the F~rmer or the Plllnter

lll&v ~ unable to allow ;-whereby the produce of the 'land

rll he materially diminished. ~

To meet the presumed evils of such a prospect, the inhabitants of Dx1nllAilA ana MAURITIUS wen amongs' the frrst who endeavoured 'to provide for the exigency, by the l'Oportation into these pl!ifes of Free Apprentices frori! the

Eil.lt lndies and China. I ;

ln Ibis Colony al~, se~eral inhabitants have hl'guft to toi!Jider of the propriety of\such importation hen.-At Stel-

\;abotch, we are informed,! aome privute meetings ha,·e nl-

ot

such a measure ;-and a Corresponde1•t in our llst Number has also app110ached the subject, by propcieing

l.1e importation of free appr~nticed labourers from the western

coast of Africa. \ ,

Prerious, howe,•er, to adopting such a plan, several q~es

tiJns ^M rPgards the pt·oba~ility

of

e.recutiort, and the cotul'·

f!ltncr1, ought seriously to ue considered. \\'e presumei as l!luch B! lay in our power, to lay before the Colonists such lcformatwn as we have beC'nffible to obtain oo the subject;

lt will be useless to elf such importation, withou( tbe concurrence or sanction of \ e Government of this Colony;
