POLITICAL LITERATURE.. / FARTHER EXTRACTS FROM RECOLLECTIONS "IND REFLECTIONS, PERSONAL AND POLITICAL, AS CONNECTED WITH PUBLIC AFFAIRS DURING THE REIGN_ OF GFORG,g By JOI-IN'Nkl - TOLli, Esq. la;t. Member of Parliament, &e. CHAPTER i'r.--SLAITE TRADE. . I was in-the House of :Co:Moons during the discussions on the AboliCo'n of the Slave Trade ; but I never voted on the nth - yea"; there were eircumstances.which led me to.he4ita4 : and islieta••l ,ivubted on which side.l ought to vote, 1, thought . it most safe to ,abstain front voting at all. No man can like the stave Trade. It 'is oppressive to the•slave•; it is roar in juriens-t the master, ; for it ,corrupts his morals.; accustom ing diim to believe. that he may live with other human erra-, teel - es without ltr.iiic stiMliect to the rest raitii'nf uroral Perhaps thers.is no collo!! y •in Europe in which the portion'of -slaves to freemen was•at one time greater than it was'in Itlngiand. • i apprehend • that. this was owing to the Heptarchy.The division of the cOutitry into seven Kingdoms produced wars;-wars occasioned captives, and. captives heeanw slaves. Serpi via ,N•treilianon:. The -wise decisions of our. Cioarte-of'-Law; assisted by other eirctuustaitees, effectuated ertlratChisentent. I will mention some of these-circumstances. t heCourts of Law decided,t hat an illegitimate childconlil not tic a slave, or, as our law"•calls him, a sent; or vi47ein. He csuld inherit niaadvaletage•from his parents ; it would, there; fort. haVe been unreasonable that balloond inherit a disade vantage. Secondly, if the femaleslaye, or,as.she is called in our-law boolis,.a niffe, -married a freeman, .she became en franchised during the.coverture, and her children were free. 'thirdly, if the: male slave. became a monk he became free. — It Was the same if the teinale slave became a ton. There were marts; other 'decisions of the Courts of, Law, which fa - voured the e nfranchisement of villeins. • I.will only mention one :»ore, and', shall select that because it W3l ..at so Taft a period'as the reign of Richard 11., and - in Opposition.to the wishes of the•Legisiature.• If A, the villein-of B, hrought an action in a Court of Law against.. T 3, and B pleaded in bar of- - his action,'. thbugh A failed in his snit, yet. ./)„,., the villein,-hecame enfranchised ; for 13, hy plead ing • in bar to his action, had treated -A as a freeman ; and lie caald not afterwaids falsify. his own admission. To prevent this inconvenience, 1i was 'Under the necessity of pleading in •nhateinerit, , ,or disability of A's person. His plea therefore avottl..l regularly- have run in these words,-•" That be, was not bound . to answer .A's action, becausethat he, A,• was his villein, re-gar-dant to-Bls•manor of Wellington in the county, of - -tornersct.". To .this,.plea in abatement, A, according-to the regular course of pleading, ought to-have replied in these words, -via. " That he,,. A,' was free s . williont this ti•at he : A, ..was • the villein of B, regardatit to. B's manor of Wellington, ifs the comity of •Somerset." 'Three,_ according to , the ordinary rules of pleading, ,1 his question, whkliet:;‘, was a vi lwii regardant to B's orator of Welling— ton its Ilie.county of Somerset, .ought to have been ivied by a ;trry of tiomersetshiee.: But, in favour of liberty, the courts ,of..law departed from the ordinary course of pleading, ani. decided, that A should be allowed to plead a.manner dif ferent from what was commonly prescribed : and they allow ed ••A to plead iii these•words, viz. ‘• That he, A, was.ft ee,'' omitting arty answer to • the other part of B's plea. By. this adveritage-thoe allowed to A,.the question or issue between rA and 13 was no longer accompanied-with any circumstances of*locality. The Nsue or question hetween.t ha. parties. was eimply ‘ whother A was free, and, was therefore to lie tiled by a jory•of that -county in: which A had brought his action. In Cite seventeenth iir• Richard It. an Act Of Parliament 'passed, reciting-aa it:convenience front this mode of pleading, and applying a renhoiv. • Ti•e act recited, that it often : hap ppued, that a -villein tied into a.town, Where the inhabitants w.ere disposed to favour.. the. claim of freedom. That he thell, »fought a fictitious .aoti colourable action eg,ainst his lerd; setith a view toorre. of these two advantages, vie,. " That if thelord,pieade-3 it bar of •Irs action„ he, Ibe -villein, :night be enfranchised by. his lord's plea : alidaf the lord pleaded in disability, of his person; and iu abatement of, his aetion,, that their the plea ought be tried ,by a jury every aay dis posed to find iii the eillein's . farimr." To remedy this mis chief', the statute enaote,l, that the lord might plead in bar, of :be villein's action; actsompanying-hisolva with a protestation, that the plaintiff wasqns eilleitt: zatiathat a plea in bar, ae-=. • comp:tided with this prostatiort, clownl slot renilert statutie j .ws..wiiiten the French language. tt.r._--$44,4j4ii 'rf- t tr.s. id..„ : _!::?ttudial of Sir ria; Tee, , . . concludes by s,aying,, hie does not know is oat to make . The words whir; Sir Edward Coke transfated-irt:orreetly are the following. The. statute recites, that the , ,villein files into a town, " ;to it est fort a trier'envers- sort seigneur.".- Sir Edward..Colve tram skies these words, - Where it is . bard to. try .against his lord." Whereas the true - ;trauslation is, Where he, the villein, is powerfoliwtrii,l against his lord. „And thus, by this mistake is tho translation, Sir Edward Coke sopposesthe awe - VI hare bad iq vieW a mischiei .divecfly the reverse of that vonicli they ,really had in vie-y, and which they wished to • remedy,. not the solicitude of our Courts of Law, to increase the number of freenico, defeated thesetstforts of the lecislature to.preserve the character of villeins in England. Ferf the courts decided, that if the plaintiff recovered, his. ation then conid not be deemed fictitious arid malt urtble. It was therefore not a case within the statute. The (teen slant was not entitled In any lie - heft under. tie statute, and tlie•villeio•was enfrancln-sed -by the defentlant'S plea. Perhaps one of tie circtunstances, which the most contri buted to the enfranoltisement'uf our villeins, is that which is generally considered as one of the greatest calamities record ed in our history: .I mean the long civil war. betwpen the Houses of York and Lancaster. The lords-enfranchised their villeins„tbat they might use them- as soldiers. it is a-ccm roots expression in the historians .of that Period, in speaking of.a crat lord who took partin the cull wars, ecru itia And. as an inducement to the villeins to serve as soldiers,. they enfranchised them, and.,granted them lands to be held latopy of Court Roil. Sir Edward.Colie, wlio.wrote in the 'retir s o of James 1..' says, that half the land in England was at. that time copylveld. , As the _proportion of copyhold land is' ntiw very much diminished, it is possible that eronepeopie May doubt tlae accuracy of Sir Edward Coke's assertion. 'But let -it be recollected, that a great. proportion of the. land in the . Western Counties etas even so bite as in-the memory of peo7 pie now living, held by leases .for ninety7iline, years deter-, i nable on lires7 Arid, wherever this, practice prevailed, there is gamut reas'ho to believe', that. the lands . had ,antecedently born held by copy . of Court Roll. • Wherever slavery has prevailed, it has aenerallY been the resnit of Compest, On the tail of the.

We know also that a large propiotion of the inhabitants of Albert's' were slaves: It ' , was prtibably the saner in other states of Greece.

I doubt thee it can be abolished . liy the means which have been' tal.iited• • The inllabit•aots of I he south:ern and western parts a the United States, of Ainctica will with great reluctance be brenght to relinquish the .us eof slates, In Sp.anish and l'or tvneseili/lIPEICa, all rntempts to abolish the Slave Trade will be. unsuccessful. I hate rematlitql,that:-the change of the race f d, the inbabitants has in most countries liien occasioned by conquest. But this Will not be the CISC in respect to the Ne groo-carried to America. They will be carried there as slaves, but the ihhahitants wit.,gradttally become a mixed rare. - When the Abolstiwe of the Sizsre.Trade was first suggested in the House of Commons, I did not think, that the means, by which it svos.prnposed that the abolition 'should be effected, -were" judicious.: I had entirely approved of the measures lay whieb it was honed that the sufferings of the slaves in their passage (MI; Africa to the West Indies Might he diuinislted. The bounty - given to 'those captains who tratispotted their *fares with the smallest average loss, ~pe..itretl likely to °produce the, most benec.ial cense trenees.

But my chief hope of an anielioratiln in' the condition of the slaves was-front the decisions of the Cowls of taw,, I Isyliere, that the courts in the. West Indies still persevere in not pettritting a Negro.to give stridence in any cause, •erther civil or criminal. I cannot conceive. hi•vr this Maxim has arisen. It certainly is nut drawn' from the common law of - England. If the veracity of the . witness 'is dattftted, from the circumstance of . his being a slave, let the objection go to .his credit,. -not to his compete: cv.— As the law now stands, the Negro is considered as be low the rank, of a rs,oonable being. NVlten the Negroes were brought to the island, the Legislature ought to have' provided, as far as possible, that every Negro should be an nexed to some plantation : that he should become gleke ascriptits, and that lie ttbutild never afterwards be sold to say other master ekcept with the plantation. As the law now stands, the judgment creditor may levy his debt by the s%le of the Negroes on the plantation, and . thus break the nearest conneetiooS.

It is ivell known that Government has been chiefly .occupied for some time past in delib4rat ing upon arrange rents for the future •provision of THE QUEEN, and though, clotibtless, the ut-, most caution has been observed on the subject, yet human weakness, vanity, and pride, must always be expected to operate, and to render absolute privacy dillicult„ if not impossible;on such occa sions.

It seems that- there is a large party at Havannah in.favour of the - emancipation of South America ; - and even those indiViduals who support the cause of the Royalists are but little inclined to make farther pecuniary sacrifices, more especially as the-mer chants and traders have, in-some measure, lost a great source of emolurnent-in . the Slave Trade, so much Cut up by the activity of the British cruisers on the coast of Africa.
