Bell Ellis Hetherington (b after 1805) at Tortola married Alan Stewart c. 1840s, Alan Stewart and Bell Ellis Hetherington had at least one son, John Ellis Stewart born 1848 in Prahran, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia died 21 December 1918 in Prahran, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, (buried 23 December 1918 in St Kilda Cemetery, Melbourne, Victoria). Hetherington was president of the council during the time of the trial of Arthur Hodge for the murder of the slave "Prosper". Hetherington appears to have taken on the role of prosecuting counsel. In response to the submission that Hodge could not be guilty of murdering his own slave, Hetherington is reported to have submitted to the jury: "...the law makes no distinction between master and servant. God created white and he created black creatures; and as God makes no distinction in administering justice, and to Him each is alike, you will not, nor can you alter your verdict, if murder has been proved - whether on white persons or on black persons, the crime is equally the same with God and the law."[1] (en)
