- William_Jervis_Livingstone abstract "William Jervis Livingstone was the manager of the Magomero Estate in Nyasaland owned by A L Bruce Estates Ltd and was killed in 1915 during the uprising against colonial rule led by John Chilembwe. Livingstone was born in Argyllshire, Scotland in 1865 and appointed as manager of Magomero in 1893. Although he experimented with growing coffee and later cotton, the estate was not a financial success and Livingstone imposed increasingly harsh labour demands on the estate workers there. He was also accused of the brutal treatment of those workers, but both the excessive work demands and his brutality were the results of the pressures for financial success originating from Alexander Livingstone Bruce, a director and major shareholder in A L Bruce Estates Ltd, who also lived in Nyasaland. Bruce considered independent African churches were subversive, and instructed Livingstone to destroy the churches and schools that Chilembwe built on the Magomero estate. Chilembwe's grievances about colonial rule and the oppression of African estate workers came to focus on William Jervis Livingstone and, when he initiated his revolt on 23 January 1915, Chilembwe ordered some of his men to attack the A L Bruce Estates, to kill all European men and to return with Livingstone's head. Livingstone and three others, including an African servant were killed at Magomero but the women and children were unharmed. In the aftermath of uprising, Livingstone alone was blamed for the harsh and unsatisfactory conditions on the A L Bruce Estates and Alexander Livingstone Bruce escaped censure. More recently, Livingstone's character has been re-examined and, although undoubtedly a violent man, he is also regarded as reacting to the impossible demands made by Bruce.".
