description Petition (see below) lodged yesterday. Petition from the 'General Body of the Methodists' planned and others hoped for. Grateful for recommendation of Mr Stephen as advocate. Includes copy of petition by Daniel Campbell, W[illia]m Fish and John Williams, Methodist preachers, regarding their treatment in Jamaica since the passing of an act to prevent preaching by those not 'qualified by Law'. Act is poorly worded and has been inappropriately applied leading to all of the petitioners having been imprisoned. Request that act be disallowed and no longer enforced.
