"By obeying the orders «f my superior in remaining in barracks," he wrote, "1 am disobeying the orders of my church for not attending." He went on to con tend that every Britisher, as well as native blacks and even lir'soner.s in gaol, possessed the privilege of ,t> tending then various places of worship, and concluded : ''Surely constables ale not to be debaiivd from preparing for the hereafter when it. s granted to criminals."
