this includes menard, it includes another of his associate, samuel clark. it also in a remarkable display of arrogance, it also includes george william gordon, the member of the colonial assembly, who was residing in kingston at the time, had absolutely no knowledge or participation in any of the events in the area so-called under rebellion. governor eyre had him arrested in kingston, loaded on horseback, transported into the rebellion zone where he fell under martial law, taken on board a military ship where his lawyer, william anderson, attempts to visit him and serve a writ of habeas corpus, is refused by the military authoriti authorities. menard is aware of these events from the shore. he also probably knows through anderson what was going on. but after anderson is refused the writ of habeas corpus, the military authorities come in and execute him for treason, on a very trumped up charge of inciting a revolt. menard himself is taken to a prison camp that was established around the morant bay area with samuel clark and probably escapes the noose himself
