Memorable breaches and fires on Richmond Hill and Jamaica rebellion details
The piece recalls Mrs Catherine Browne praising her care as mother and friend, followed by a fire at the Dog Tavern stables on Richmond Hill. It then reports on a Jamaica insurrection with Tacky and Jamaica leading rebels, massacres of whites, theft of arms, and later defeat by Crawford Town Negroes and colonial forces, with many killed or captured and significant troop actions.
