Note 9 — AN ACCOUNT, &C.

Monday Gell is very well known in this city. He is a most excellent harness-maker, and kept his shop in Meeting-Street. It would be difficult to name any individual more actively engaged in the plot than himself, or more able to aid Denmark Vesey, from his uncommon sagacity and knowledge. He reads and writes with great and equal facility, and obviously seems to have been the individual who held the pen, at all the meetings. At which he wrote more than one letter to San Domingo, for succors. His own situation afforded no excuse for the effort in which he was engaged, as he enjoyed all the substantial comforts of a free man; much indulged and trusted by his master, his time and a large proportion of the profits of his labour were at his own disposal. He even kept his master’s arms and sometimes his money. Monday is an Ebo, and is now in the prime of life, having been in the country 15 or 20 years.
