Berwick Estate
A description of conditions in Berwick was given by Jospeh Sturge, the abolitionist campaigner in 1837 when it was under the ownership of Sir Alexander Cray Grant, 8th Bt. It read'Berwick Estate. — Sir A. C, Grant, Proprietor. — Three apprentices state, that Dr. Palmer came four times on the estate, but only punished the people twice by taking away sixteen hours of their time. The owner said that
would not do for him, and complained to the Governor, who ordered Mr. Cooper to take charge of Berwick. When he paid his first visit, the owner complained to him that the people had been idle during Dr. Pjllmiru's time, for which Cooper sentenced them to pay four days. The people refused, and went to Palmer, who told them to do every thing that Cooper said. The latter came with the police and flog
ged one man, and sent a woman to the treadmill for fourteen days. Dr. Palmer always told them to work well, and said if they did not he would punish them. He did not flog them like the other Magistrates, nor take away their Saturdays to give to the property. They do work well, but their overseer is never satisfied, and is continually complaining to get their time taken away, though there is not a
cane piece on the estate that is not in good order. Since August, 1834, they have never had a field cook, till two months ago. They get no salt fish, except in crop. In crop, the people give up their half Fridays, and receive for their extra work, the mill people two shillings and sixpence, the boiler-men three shillings and four pence, and the cattle boys one shilling and eleven pence a week. The
y work about sixteen hours a day. The watchman for the negro grounds was taken away about a year before August, 1834, and they have thrown up their grounds on account of the trespass of cattle. They have now only little gardens about their houses. The hospital is surrounded by a fence like a jail, which is kept locked all day. The pregnant women are not allowed to sit down, but go home from the fi
eld and are delivered the same night. They are allowed about four weeks afterwards.'
