tlemen beside him (his Lordship said) stated, that these
'compacts were customary in that part of the world

productive of great benefit and convenience. Patting
the matter of assistance out of the case, the delay af-

they might retain the cause for consideration, or if they
remitted it to this Court, he (Lord Sowell) would pro-

give the grounds of his sentence to-day, but it was
to be understood that he decided there was a want of

last Court day, brought before his Lordship the subject
of the staves captured at the Isle of Diego de Garcias,
a dependency of the Mauritius, in' 1810, by Captains
Edghill and Harris, under the orders of Admiral Drury ;
which slaves were conveyed to Ceylon, and enrolled and

of the French Government, and decreed a monition fur
their condemnation as prize.
