SLAVES AT 110 N. DURAS.
Mr. WILIIIIRFORCE rose for the purpose of submitting
a twiloo relative to the Slaves 'and Free 'lndians at Honduras.
Ile turd tuttilkrts from 4 repgyt by Colonel Arthur, Vela..
tivei to the treatment of the" Slaves. lie did' not mean • tai,
dvny that they received a sort of rough humanity from the
• hands of, their matitere; they were provided with food and
clothing, hut, owing to the pule regard *Web was paid to '
them In other respects, they were often exposed to great
cruelty. ',De Honourable Member mentioned an Instance
in winch is female Slave of a Dr. Bohun had been very
cruelly used, for which, when that person was tried, he had
been acquitted. 'The injustice which was practised towards the
' free Indians was still greater, because it wee contrary to all
law. The Indians of .the continent-of America could by no
, means become the property of any owners ; they Were free by
birth, and nothing could legally deprive them of this freedoni ;
but they were still held in slavery at Honduran. The Hen.
Gentleman concluded by moving-- That a Select Committee
be appointed to inquire into the condition of the slaves and
free Indiana In Honduras,. and to report their observations
thereon to the House."
Mr. W. SMITH stated his conviction, that if laetrile-
thens were sent out by Government to Honduras, it would
strengthen the bands of the authorities there, and enablethem
to put an end to the cruelties which were complained'of.
Mr.- W. HORTON suggested the propriety of withdrawing
the motion until the next session, as the subject was now under
consideration, and a measure would be introduced for the relief
of the slaves.
Pr, LUSHINGTON said, if his Majesty's Government
devised any measure in accordance with the wishes of his
lionourabie"Priend (Mr. Wilberforce), it would meet with the
*beat support from that House, and, he was convinced, from the
nation at large. •
