My people say, 'they have not time to be sick now. My cultivation has never been so far advanced at the same season, or in finer order than it is at the present time. I have been encouraged by the increasing industry of my people to bring several additional acres under cultivation." Mr. Hatley, Fry's estate. "I get my work done better than formerly, and with incomparably more cheerfulness.
"The plough is beginning to be very extensively used." Mr. Hatley. "There has been considerable simplification in agricultural labor already, which would have been more conspicuous, had it not been for the excessive drought which has prevailed since 1834. The plough is more used, and the expedients for manuring land are less laborious." Extract of a letter from Hon. N. Nugent.
The necessity for a new power had set many ingenious men to work besides Watt, and some of these were trying to adopt Watt's principles while avoiding his patent. Hatley, one of Watt's workmen upon the trial engine at the Carron works, had stolen and sold the drawings.
We regarded it as an outrageous interference with our rights, with our property. But we are now rejoiced that slavery is abolished." Dr. Daniell. "I have already seen such decided benefits growing out of the free labor system, that for my part I wish never to see the face of slavery again." Mr. Hatley. "I do not know of a single planter who would be willing to return to slavery.
Morrish accompanied us to a neighboring estate called Frey's, which lies on the road from Newfield to English Harbor. Mr. Hatley, the manager, showed an enthusiastic admiration of the new system. Yet his people had acted their part well. He had been encouraged by their improved industry and efficiency, to bring into cultivation lands that had never before been tilled.
Nugent also stated, that "the expenses of cultivation were greatly diminished." Mr. Hatley, manager of Fry's estate, said that the expenses on his estate had been greatly reduced since emancipation. He showed us the account of his expenditures for the last year of slavery, and the first full year of freedom, 1835.
