8. »" 4 William IV, 21. Digitized by Google 600 HISTORY Other Rights. — ^Apprentices were allowed certain other rights and privi- leges of British subjects which had been denied to them as slaves. The same spirit on the part of the white inhabitants, that had been shown elsewhere, was shown here. Only after attention had been called to the rigidity of these restrictions,"* were they repealed by the Assembly. The auxiliary abolition act of the Bahamas disqualified apprentices for jury service, f...orbade them to serve as arbitrators, or on appraisements, or to hold elective or other positions in His Majestjr^s service, whereas the home govemmeat had only intended in its restrictions to give the apprentices "no military or political authority.'"" These restrictions were later removed in the Bahamas. Military service or service in any civil capacity, to which the governor might call the negroes, was enjoined upon them just as upon other British subjects, provided they did not interfere with the performance of services due to the masters."* Eights op Employer.
