pp 7-9 1837 Dec 27. Buxton to Lushington, declining his seat on the grounds that none of the objects in which he was interested required his presence in Parliament at that time, since he thought that nothing was to be done about the negroes for the next two years, he could wage the campaign against Indian slavery and the slave trade equally well from outside the House and his health demanded a two year holiday. He suggests instead that Thomas Macaulay, returning from India and seeking a seat, might be suitable. Finally he mentions a judgement passed in Ceylon by Jeremie in a slavery case which he would like to show him. (Copy.)
