Perhaps the same children whose parents avoided having them apprenticed became involved 40 years later in the Confederation Riots of 1876. The primary cause of these riots is often cited as the proposed confederation of Barbados and the Windward Islands. However it is very likely that this was one cause of many and the primary reason for unrest and unhappiness was down to pay working and living conditions. The 'despatches' of 1875 describe cases of death by starvation - one of a baby whose mother had had to return to work weeks after giving birth and could not feed her daughter often enough or worked so hard so soon that she could not produce enough milk. According to the rector of the Parish Church this was a common occurrence. . . Cases such as this were the primary causes of unrest in Barbados in the 1870s. These cases illustrate the difficulties faced by the descendants of enslaved African-Caribbeans and the long lasting legacy of the slave trade." online The National Archives essay 'When did plantation workers in Barbados truly become free'.

A group of eight petitions submitted to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. Each dealing with general issues of service and promotion within the officer corps and conditions in the army.

This would have had considerable impact on the officer ranks in the service of the East India Company. The petitions were printed in London in 1795 as part of the parliamentary papers. They all bear docketed titles as follows: 1- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Futty Ghur No. 2; 2- Memorial from the Officers stationed at Chunar Ghurr No. 3; 3- Memorial from the Officers at Cawnpore No. 4; 4- Memorial from the Officers at Dinapore No. 5; 5- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Berhampore No. 6; 6- Memorial from the Officers of Artillery of the Bengal Establishment No. 7; 7- Memorial from the Officers on the Fort St. George Establishment No. 8; 8-Memorial from the Officers on the Bombay Establishment No. 9.
