That a 1311 introduced a' the close of the last Sess;on, into the House oh Commons, entities!, 4 ' A kW! for more effectually preventi ng the unlawful Importstion of Mayes, and the holding Tree Pers.lns In Sl:wiry in the Brit'sh Colonies," has excited most serious atteminti and consnleraNe alarm throughout the British West-India Colonies. . tld. That al:hough this Committee hr rot yet f illy informed reirctinz, the proceedings of all the Colonial Lesi.latures 'heti:i on, and till-, froth Jamaica and irons o•Itm Culouks, hurl , - taw &consents are expected, iu contra lictinn and slisproof 4 those clieges uroo which tit, sad Bill is pr , tessetlly granttles.l 4 , Attila the prw.ecution of those inquiries w.lich the sub) et :sae suggested: it is become already expedient to endeavour to goad the. Members of the Legisliture and •the psblie against inser tions an.; representa:ions which, in r:roiemeit Loi..ti of the sed Bill. bare he'll circulated with unceasi At Jsii.liiisy, but width have been advanced without proof—and will appear, upon ins qiiiry ' to he utterly 'lnfiniti le I ad. That the declared round of the proposed ussastere is the actuator highly probable existence. In.ttie fintish t_l•iloales, of _ _ . _ a contraband trade in• Slaves, and of an ille!al d , tentfon of free persons in slavery ; and it it alleged, that tiks offei sch or will prevail to an extent adequate tO defeat the salutary cud. - ,MI bez t .e. sary influence upon the mind.; of the Colonists, which the abolition of the Mal/ Trade was calculated to effect. 4th. That so great an innovat'ou upon the long established Colonial System as that wirch is proposed by this Bal—an inter ference, on the part of the Imperial Parliament, to the internal mutucipal regulation of the filkmn• es, cannot, injus• ice, be v.:idi cued by the mere possibility of the commission of Climes, or by rare and,trivial off.:nces, if etch can, indeed, be adduced ; b it t` at, in consistency with the wisdom and equity of the British ?Arita. tent, the enactment of such a law shoull, at least, be preaede by the fullest proof of the existence and prevalence of those abuses to which it is of as a remedy. sth. 'Filet in the laboured productions which have been given to the public in support of the proposed measure, no one fact of the illicit practices charged has been hitherto brought satisfacto rily home to the British Colonies. An appareet increase in the Census of Trinidad refutes, by its very magnitude. the accusa tion which It is brought forward to prove, and is evidently the result of the impi.rfection of a preceding Censui. In re , pect to the other Colonies, although imputations are not spared, evi dence is silent, and the Bri.ish Legislature Is invitee, le the Re port et the African Ineitutioe, to adopt this measure, so formi dable in its principle, because " there is abundaet reasmi to con clude," nr because " it cannot reasonably b • douh:ed," that the alleged ilEcit practices exist. or because it is barely pornsibl: Oat at snme future time, and in some one particular island, they mar exist, while the history of all the Colonies, daring the eight years which have elapsed since the-abolition ef the Slave Trade, has been sedulotts , y, bat vainly, ransacked for use satisfactory proof of the participation of a single British Col'ely in the crime of which they are directly or iiithrectly accused. 6th. That even the possihility of c treying on the illicit rrac tices ques:ion has been consi lerehly narrowed since tins Bill was hat <sauced into the Reese of C. , einiani by the Decree of the French Government abolishing lie Sieve Trade. 7th. That title Committee cannot but notice, respectettle au thority having given *auction to them, those °flee:ere in •ietta done, that crimes, confessedly not proved, may be reasenetly bnputed to his Majesty's subjects in the West India Cotuid. s, because (under the sanction of British Laws) they are hec.mte peesemors of Slaves, and that the laws and regulations weich •he Cellessial Legislature.: have fai :nerd for tho maintenance and go. VentMent et those :Slaves, and for the .atety and welfare of the whole population under their jeriolic•ions, have been ei:lser made for the sake of the privileged order alone, or, where they hold out protectlon to tint Slaves, have been illusory, enacted in bad faith, or passed with fraudulent designs That asseteirins thus extravagant and illiberal do not merit refutation, but that the great body of British subjects .who inhabit the West India Colo nice have cause to complain, that, went those injurious impute dons, which calumny has first fixed upon their character, new calumnies are roundel nth. That could it be proved, which has not yet been done, that in some one island some obscure act of contraband dealing In Slaves had occurred, it would be a moat unwarrantable con clusion, that the conduct of the Planters of Jamaica, and of other Colonies in the West Indies, in the government and treat ment of their Slaves, had been influenced by the commission of a crime, of which, so far front being accomplices therein, they have never heard: and the British Legislature and the British Public may rest assured, that in the great Colony of Jamaica at least, which in territoey and population forms ot itself a moiety of the insular Colonic; of Great Britain in the West lee dies, and this Committee verily beli.ves equally in the other Island', every beneficial consequence to the Slaves, which was necessarily connected with a complete abrAdon of the British Slave Trade, has been, since the pasting of that taw, progre s sively operating. 9th. That the Legislature of Jamaica, although firmly deny ing the existence, within its knowledge, of an illicit Trade in Slaves, since the passing of the Abolition Act, has nevertheless • commenced an investigation, for the purpose of ascertaining--- whether there be the least reason to suspect any evasion of the Abolition Law in that island ? and has explicitly declared its re solution to make a completerovision, in whatever instances it maybe found necessary, fur aiding and enforcing that law ; and nu doubt the same course, necessary,Will be pursued in other Wands. 10th. That the Legislature of Jamaica is also engaged in an in vestigation of the actual situation of the Slave Poet la ion tinier its jurisdiction, with a view tairly to disclose its cote:bijou, that it may be compared with the dark amid &aml representriuns which have been made of it, and with a deter initiation also to in quire whether further improvements or amelioretion he situ ation of the Slaves can be acc.miplished by legal enasersetes, with safety to the community, and due regard to the mere:, it e lita of properly ; and the result of similar iuvestigations iney be ee pected from other islands. Ilth. That, meat time, it is the duty oft his Committee to de clare, that the Bill in question is considered, by the Legislatures of Jamaica and other Colonies, whose prat.- edines have reached this Committee, as the basis of a system ot most grievous oppreise akin, striking eventually at the properties, liberties, cl.a.leters, and lives, of his Majesty's faitleul eubjects in : he '. es :- India Co lonies; and that, hi the first Ole:once (to use the words of tee Ja maica House of Assembly), " it assumes a EVIL of legislation within the island, upon a subject of mere ineeicipal regutatain and internal polite; exercises a power Over the estates and pro perty of the inhabitants; imposes the most grievous penalties end forfeitures, to be inflicted at the will of a single officer, wilioat trial by Jury; and levies hues amid gratuities, to the use of the said officer ant others, on the inhabitants, not given or cue-Rived to by their Representatives in General Ass. tubly ; by weiett enactments, penalties, forfeitures, and aatressniencs, not only the constitutional deist of bovine' legislation. is infringe'', but C.* pledge in respect to taxation,given to the Calioni4 by the statute of the lath Geo. lid. cap. 12, it violated. I Stk. That if it could he supposed that those who framed this Bill, and who have recommended it to Parham, nt, had not se much in view the remedy of any notorious existine evil as the estahlishmeot.ai a precedent on which to ground a s) went of le gislation by the British Parliament, in thi entire municipal regu. Luton and Automat Government of the Colonies ; the rachneete ma policy, and danger et such an experiment ehould be taken dueconsideration by every friend to the prespetity of Great Bri tain; by every rational wellswither to our Colonial Slaves.
