The Select blommittee appointed to inquire whether
the Slave Trade has prevailed at the Mauritius, and to

to the House, and who were empowered to report the
minutes of the evidence taken before them, have, pur-
suant to the order of the House, inquired intothe matter

From the lateness of the period at which your Com-
mittee were appointed, it has beep impracticable.to do
more than to commence the investigation of the very
important and extensive inquiry referred to them by
the order of the House.

Your Committee are therefore unable, in the present
stage of the proceedings, to do more than to report the
minutes of evidence already taken ; feeling it their duty
to add, that they consider it to be as yet.premature to
suggest that their minutes should be printed. These
minutes of evidence may hereafter be made available
for such purposes as Parliament may deem expedient.
Your Committee have learned with satisfaction, that every facility
will be furnished by the Government for the purpose of affording
means for prosecuting effectually, and bringing to a close, the inquit y
in which your Committee have been engaged.—May 51, 1116.
