A petition from William Swanston, in the 1831 slave register, notes that no return was submitted in 1828. Swanston explained that at that time the "estate was tenanted by Samuel Sturge whose duty it was to have made the said Triennial Return (the lessors of the said Estate being resident in England and having no other representative within this Island)". Stated that Sturge failed to do so because he was "then in a very declining state of health, which not long afterwards terminated in his decease". An affidavit is annexed to the petition from George Bucke confirming what Swanston says, but gives slightly different information on one count saying that "Powells Estate [was occupied by] Samuel Sturge under a lease granted to him by Messrs Bosanquet Pitt and Co. of the City of London (Absentees from the said Island)"
