hence they hll up with oil casks, the transpor-

though the inspector may hare good reason to
suspect that the vessel is bound on slave voy-
age, be cannot arrest her with such cargo,
Notwithstanding it is the very one which is nee
essary to enable the captain 10 fit her up as a
SLAYER when once out at sea, for the casks are
knocked to pieces, and the timber used As dun
mage Is applied to building up the slave decks.
In order to put an end to this trick, it is pro-
