peace, and then only at the earnest interposition of Lord William Willoughby. After his liberation, he appears to have carried on his warfare with the English colonists, until, as already mentioned, 1674, when he met his fate in about the forty-fourth year of his age. As perhaps it may be interesting to some of my readers to look over the “_Remonstrance_,” alluded to as drawn up by the members of the Antigua legislature in 1676, when Colonel Philip Warner was tried for the murder of his half-brother—I have inserted it in the Appendix, (No. 6.) ------ [20] The French having entirely ruined Antigua, it was necessary to form all new regulations, as at the first settlement of the colony. [21] For a further account of this gentleman’s family, see Appendix, No. 4. [22] For copy of the Grant of Land to Colonel P. Warner, see Appendix, No. 5. [23] Oldmixon, in his “British America,” says:—“At this time (1676) there was a wicked practice in the West Indies, of which the English are accused; and that was, their stealing and enslaving Indians, which they took on the continent or the islands. And one Colonel Warner being charged with this unlawful traffic—if it deserves that name—was made a prisoner in England, and sent, aboard the Phoenix frigate, to Barbados, to take his trial there; but he found so many friends, that he came off.” [24] Oldmixon, in his History of St Christopher’s, speaking of this circumstance, says—“They (the Caribs) were willing enough to live peaceably with the Europeans who first landed there, and were upon the place when D’Esnambuc came thither; but, upon his landing, their boyez, or conjurers, telling them, in a general assembly met on purpose, that the foreigners were come to take away their country from them, and destroy them root and branch, it was resolved to massacre the English.” He goes on to state, that the English and French, having gained intelligence of the Caribs’ design to _cut their throats_, “fell upon the most factious of the natives by night, killed them, and drove the rest out of the island.”
