    [Citation: Minutes of the Barbados Council, The National Archives, London, UK: Pages 157-159]

    Meeting of December 20, 1768 

    "Then HE was pleased to acquaint the Board, that since their last sitting, it having been represented to him, that the Body of a Negro who was Executed at Speight's for attempting to poison John Denny Esqr. had been attended to the Grave with unusual Pomp by Numbers of Negroes collected together for that purpose, He has thought fit to issue a Proclamation (to Discourage such outrageous Insults for the future); which was Ordered to be read, & entered in this day's Minutes, & the same being read accordingly, was unanimously approved of by the Hnble Members."
