Abstract

Publicamos a seguir um documento dirigido ao Imperador dom Pedro II, em 1861, denunciando, sob o ponto de vista de um eclesiástico católico, as interferências praticadas por James Newell Gordon, superintendente da Saint John d'el Rey Mining Company, Limited (Morro Velho), nas práticas religiosas dos escravos (que à época eram quase 3000) e os atritos que ocorriam entre catolicismo e protestantismo dentro da companhia. Suas entrelinhas, no entanto, acabam por revelar outros importantes aspectos do mundo do trabalho na mineração aurífera inglesa em Minas Gerais, na segunda metade do século XIX, como por exemplo, os castigos, prisões, descanso dominical, assistência religiosa aos enfermos, mendicância, relações de hierarquia, dentre outros.We are publishing a document sent to the Emperor of Brazil, D. Pedro II, in 1861, denouncing, under a catholic clergyman's point of view, the interferences practiced by James Newell Gordon, superintendent of Saint John d'el Rey Mining Company, Limited (Morro Velho), in the slaves' religious practices and the attritions which happened between Catholicism and Protestantism in this company. Between the lines, however, we can observe that it ends for revealing other important aspects of the world of the work in the English auriferous mining in Minas Gerais, in the second half of the century XIX, as for instance, punishments, prisons, Sunday rest, religious attendance to patients, begging, hierarchy relationships, among others.
