Portrait of a Jamaican Merchant Evasion and King’s Trade
In 1814 Admiral Brown reports on Kingston merchants fearing royal seizure of private and public property while seeking protection from the King. The entry details merchants resisting competition with Cape Henry, alleged conspiracies to corner trade, and the king’s officials warning of confiscation. A vivid portrait follows of the king as a striking, educated, confident figure, with a powerful entourage and a reluctance to cede control to merchants, alongside notes on advisors and court behavior.
