%X Publicamos a seguir um documento dirigido ao Imperador dom Pedro II, em 1861, denunciando, sob o ponto de vista de um eclesi¨¢stico cat¨®lico, as interfer¨ºncias praticadas por James Newell Gordon, superintendente da Saint John d'el Rey Mining Company, Limited (Morro Velho), nas pr¨¢ticas religiosas dos escravos (que ¨¤ ¨¦poca 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 minera  o aur¨ªfera inglesa em Minas Gerais, na segunda metade do s¨¦culo XIX, como por exemplo, os castigos, pris es, descanso dominical, assist¨ºncia religiosa aos enfermos, mendicancia, rela  es 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.
