No person can indeed judge of the severe labour and trials in thesejourneys. In the present, I was out four months. I was almost over thewhole island, I intersected it backwards and forwards both in the night andin the day. I travelled nearly seven thousand miles in this time, and I wasable to count upon twenty new and willing evidences. [Footnote A: Ten or twelve of those, who were examined, much to theirhonour, came forward of their own accord. ] Having now accomplished my object, Mr. Wilberf...orce moved on the fourth ofFebruary in the House of Commons, that a committee be appointed to examinefurther witnesses in behalf of the abolition of the Slave-trade. Thismotion was no sooner made, than Mr. Cawthorne rose, to our great surprise, to oppose it. He took upon himself to decide, that the house had heardevidence enough. This indecent motion was not without its advocates. Mr. Wilberforce set forth the injustice of this attempt; and proved, that outof eighty-one days, which had been given up to the hearing of evidence, thewitnesses against the abolition had occupied no less than fifty-seven.
