ANNO VICESIMO OCTAVO GEORGI III. REGIS.
An Act for regulating the Trade between the subjects of his Majesty's Colonies and Plantations in North-America, and in the West-India Islands, and the Countries belonging to the United States of America; and between his Majesty's said subjects and the Foreign Islands in the West-Indies.
WHEREAS the regulations made by his Majesty's several orders in council, for carrying on the commerce between his Majesty's subjects in North-America, and in the West-Indies, and the inhabitants of the territories belonging to the United States of America, in pursuance of the powers vested in his Majesty for that purpose, by several acts of parliament, have by experience been found to be beneficial: and whereas it is now proper, that the said regulations should be established and made permanent; Be it therefore enacted by the king's most excellent majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the lords spiritual and temporal, and commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, That no goods or commodities whatever, shall be imported or brought from any of the territories belonging to the said United States of America, into any of his Majesty's West-India Islands (in which description the Bahama Islands, and the Bermuda, or Somers Islands, are included), under the penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be imported or brought, together with all her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle and apparel, except tobacco, pitch, tar, turpentine, hemp, flax, masts, yards, bowspirts, staves, heading-boards, timber, shingles, and lumber of any sort; horses, neat cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and live stock of any sort; bread, biscuit, flour, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain of any sort; such commodities respectively, being the growth or production of any of the territories of the said United States of America.
II. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That none of the goods or commodities herein-before excepted, enumerated, and described, shall be imported or brought into any of the said Islands from the territories of the said United States, under the like penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be so imported or brought, together with all her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle, and apparel, except by British subjects, and in British-built ships, owned by his Majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law.
III. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall be lawful to export from any of the said West-India Islands, to any port or place within the territories belonging to the said United States, any goods or commodities whatsoever, which are not now by law prohibited to be exported from the said Islands, to any foreign country or place in Europe; and also, sugar, melasses, coffee, cocoa nuts, ginger, and pimento: and that all cocoa nuts or ginger, which shall be so exported, shall be subject and liable to the same duties to which the same are now severally subject and liable, if exported to any British colony or plantation in America; and that the said duties shall be raised, levied, collected, paid, recovered, and applied, in the same manner as the duties on cocoa nuts or ginger, exported to any British colony or plantation in America, are severally raised, levied, collected, paid, recovered and applied: Provided always, That no sugar, melasses, coffee, cocoa nuts, ginger or pimento, nor any other articles or commodities whatsoever, (except salt, from the Islands, called Turk's Islands, being part of the Bahama Islands), shall be so exported, except by British subjects, and in British-built ships owned by his Majesty's subjects, and navigated according to law, under the like penalty of the forfeiture thereof, and also of the ship or vessel in which the same shall be so exported, together with her guns, furniture, ammunition, tackle and apparel.
IV. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in every case where, on exportation of any goods or commodities to any British colony or plantation in America, a bond is now or may be hereafter required by law for the due landing of such goods or commodities in such colony or plantation, and a certificate is required to discharge such bond, a similar bond shall be required, on exportation of such goods or commodities to the territories of the United States, for the due landing the same in the said territories; and such bond shall and may be discharged, upon a certificate under the hand and seal of the British consul or vice consul, provided any such consul or vice consul shall be resident at the port or place where such goods shall be landed; or in case there shall not be any such consul or vice consul so resident, then under the hand and seal of any officer or officers who are or may be appointed by the said United States, or any of them, for the purpose of granting such certificate; and if it shall happen that there shall not be any officer so appointed, then, and in such case, such bond shall and may be discharged, upon a certificate under the hand and seal of any magistrate of the said United States, or any of them, certifying that there is no such officer at the port or place where such goods shall be landed, and that oath hath been made before such magistrate by the master, or other person having the charge or command of such ship or vessel, that the goods for which such certificate is required, were duly landed by him at such port or place within the territories belonging to the said United States.
V. And whereas it is expedient to give the encouragement to the making of salt in the said Islands called Turk's Islands; be it therefore further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for any ship or vessel belonging to the inhabitants of the said United States of America coming in ballast, and not otherwise, to enter
the ports of the said Islands called Turk's Islands, for the purpose of being there laden with salt, and for no other purpose whatever; under and subject to the provisions, regulations, and restrictions herein-after mentioned; any thing in this act, or any law, usage, or custom, to the contrary notwithstanding.
VI. Provided always, That the master, or other person having or taking the charge or command of such ship or vessel, shall, immediately after the arrival of such ship or vessel into any port of the said Islands, make a just and true entry upon oath, before the collector, or other principal officer of such port, of his ship or vessel, declaring of what country she is built, how manned, who was the master during the voyage, and who are the owners thereof, and the purpose for which he enters the said port, in order that such ship or vessel may undergo the search and examination of the proper officers of his Majesty's customs; and such master, or other person making the charge or command thereof, shall truly answer upon oath, to such questions touching and concerning the same, as shall be demanded of him by such collector, or other principal officer, upon pain for any default therein, that such master, or other person having, or taking the charge or command of such ship or vessel, shall forfeit the sum of one hundred pounds; and the collector or other principal officer of his Majesty's customs at such port, is hereby authorized and required to administer the said oaths herein before required to be taken.
VII. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That there shall be raised, levied, collected, and paid, unto and for the use of his Majesty, his heirs and successors, a tonnage duty at and after the rate of two shillings and six-pence sterling, payable in dollars at the rate of five and six-pence per ounce, for each and every ton burthen of every ship or vessel belonging to the inhabitants of the said United States of America, so coming to the said Islands called Turk's Islands; and that the tonnage of every such ship or vessel shall be ascertained by admiral measurement, made by such officer or officers as shall be appointed for that purpose by the commissioners of his Majesty's customs in England for the time being, or any four or more of them; which said officer or officers so appointed as aforesaid shall admiral measure such ship or vessel according to the following method, videlicet, Drop a plumb line over the stern of the ship, and measure the distance between such line and the after part of the stern-post at the load water mark; then measure from the top of the said plumb line, in a parallel direction with the water, to a perpendicular point immediately over the load water mark at the fore part of the main stem; subtracting from such measurement the above distance, the remainder will be the ship's extreme length, from which is to be deducted three inches for every foot of the load draught of water for the rake abaft, and also three sixths of the ship's breadth for the rake forward, the remainder shall be esteemed the just length of the keel, to find the tonnage; and the breadth shall be taken from outside to outside of the plank, in the broadest part of the ship, either above or below the main wale, exclusive of all manner of sheathing or doubling that may be wrought upon the side of the ship; then multiply the length of the keel for tonnage by the breadth so taken, and that product by half the breadth, and dividing by ninety four, the quotient shall be deemed the true contents of the tonnage.
VIII. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the full and true amount of said tonnage duty, so ascertained as aforesaid, shall be paid into the hands of the collector of his Majesty's customs in the said Islands respectively, at the port or place wherein he shall be appointed to reside in any of the said Islands before any salt shall be loaded on or laid on board of such ship or vessel; and such duty shall be under the management of the said commissioners of his Majesty's customs, and be raised, levied, collected, paid, and recovered, in such and the like manner, and by such and the like rules, ways, means and methods respectively, and under such penalties and forfeitures, as any other duties now payable to his Majesty on goods imported into any of the said Islands, plantations, colonies, or territories belonging to or under the dominion of his Majesty in America or the West Indies, are or may be raised, levied, collected, paid, and recovered, by any act or acts of Parliament now in force, as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as if the several clauses, powers, directions, penalties, and forfeitures relating thereto, were particularly repeated and again enacted in the body of this present act; and such duty shall, under such management, be subject to the payment of the salaries of the officers and other incidental charges of the port, and the residue be paid to the receiver-general of the customs in England for the time being, to be paid by him into the receipt of his Majesty's exchequer, under the head of consolidated customs.
IX.

TO THE PRESIDENT, VICE-PRESIDENT and COMMITTEE of the Pennsylvania Society for promoting the Abolition of Slavery, and for Relief of Free Negroes unlawfully held in Bondage.
GENTLEMEN, YOUR favor of the 20th of October last, and the certificates which accompanied it were much to our satisfaction. We shall be further obliged by your forwarding the authentic documents you mention, respecting the treatment of the slaves in the Southern States and the West-India Islands, it being contended that the instances of inhumanity are very rare. The certificates have been submitted to the perusal of several who have actively interested themselves in promoting our common object.
But our opponents seem already sensible of the futility of a plea so extremely weak as that founded on a supposed incapacity of the black people to enjoy the blessings of freedom and civilization. Their arguments, or rather their insinuations, have latterly been more particularly confined to the policy of abolishing the slave trade, on which they would have it believed that the existence of the plantations, and the consequent revenue of this kingdom essentially depends.—On the other hand it is contended, and we trust on much better authority, that neither injury to the plantations, nor defalcation of the revenue, would eventually ensue. To the doubts industriously suggested by some who are interested in favoring the former opinion, we must partly attribute the prayers of some of the numerous petitions which have already been presented to the house of commons, requesting the mere regulation of a commerce which no possible modification can rectify. But we are inclined to believe that many of them were so expressed from inadvertency, or the want of a thorough knowledge of the subject.
Remembering the declarations of the American Congress, so frequently repeated during the contest with Britain, we could not but flatter ourselves that the late convention would have produced more unequivocal proofs of a regard to consistency
of character than an absolute prohibition of the proposed federal government from complying with the acknowledged obligations of humanity and justice for the term of twenty-one years.—We much regret that your nervous address on the occasion had not an effect more adequate to the importance of the subject. What may be the event of the parliamentary business is yet uncertain—at present the prospect is encouraging.
And though we are aware how liable those expectations are to fail which depend upon simple and honest principles, when opposed by the intrigues of wealth and power, yet we can scarcely avoid flattering ourselves with the hope arising from the number and respectability of the patrons of this undertaking, that it will at length be successful. Our adversaries who had, till lately, been remarkably quiet, probably because they held our endeavors in contempt, have now taken the alarm, and use every artifice of sophistry and misrepresentation to defeat our purpose; one of their most plausible allegations is, that if the British nation should lay down the trade, other nations will take it up, and therefore that the condition of the Africans would not be improved, though England would sustain a considerable loss. The reply is obvious; that this nation ought to do what is right, let others do as they please, and we have a strong persuasion that, on the whole, the African trade is a losing one to this country.
It is however our present wish, that an appeal might be made to the humanity of other countries and governments; and for this purpose we commenced a correspondence in France, and a society is now forming there whose object it will be to diffuse the knowledge of this traffic, and shew it in its true colors. It may perhaps be in your power to assist our views of thus extending the sphere of action.
The privy council is now engaged in enquiries into the slave trade, and the colonial slavery; and we expect the subject will shortly be investigated in parliament.
The university of Cambridge have expressed their sense of it in a very forcible petition to the house of commons; and the clergy of the established church in many other parts have equally testified their zeal in the common cause.
Many counties, cities and towns, have petitioned. Amongst the cities we have the satisfaction to enumerate Bristol, one captiol seat of the African trade. The Presbyterians, Independents and Baptists have petitioned collectively; and the religious society called Quakers have repeated their application on the occasion: more petitions are expected from various quarters.
The attempts to retrieve the national character, and assert the common rights of our nature, has awakened the attention and excited the good wishes of people of all descriptions.
It was only necessary that the torch of truth should be lighted, to shall conviction in the face of humanity; but avarice is wittingly blind. One solitary petition came up against us from the town of Liverpool; yet we are not without well-wishers and even advocates in that seminary of slave traders.
As much useful information is contained in the historical account of Guinea, published by your late worthy fellow citizen, A. Benezet, we are printing another edition with a view to give it a more extensive circulation.—We shall herewith send you some copies of this committee's report to our society at large; and also such other of the tracts lately published here, on the subject, as we can collect—some of these you may think it proper to republish. And we shall be obliged by any returns of the same kind you may be able to make.
Referring you to our report for further information respecting our proceedings, we have only to repeat our sincere wishes that yours may meet with the success they deserve.
Signed by order of the Committee of the London Society for promoting the abolition of the slave trade,

To provide a set of Sweepers, as many as may be found necessary, under the distinguishing mark of a cap, on the front of which, will be the words, New Chimney Office, No. 21. 2d. To allot each a proper district, in such manner, as that every subscriber's chimneys shall be regularly swept once every month, (or oftener if required) at the rate of one shilling and three pence, for every chimney. 3d.
