ABSTRACT

Seven members of the General Assembly at St. Christopher's were, upon the 24th of October, ordered into the custody of the serjeant-at-arms. They refused to make submission to the house, and were in consequence committed to goal. Five days afterwards they were expelled the house, and discharged from confinement. Great rejoicings were made upon their release, and four of them were re-elected, without opposition, as members for the parish of St. George's, Basse Terre.
