New Haven, also, in 1656, passed a general law ordering that no person should sell “any servant male or female of what degree soever”, out of the colony unless into some of the other three colonies belonging to the New England Confederation, without leave and license from the authorities of that plantation to which such servant belonged, under penalty of a fine of £10 for each offense.[659] The measure could be applied to Indian slaves, though not intended specifically for that purpose. After the Tuscarora War the importation of “revengeful, warlike savages” alarmed the Connecticut colonists and led to definite legislative action regarding the matter. In view of the fact that several persons had brought into the colony Carolina Indians, “which have committed many cruel and bloody outrages” there, and “may draw off our Indians” to the extent of arousing hostilities if their importation were continued, in July, 1715, the governor and council decided to prohibit the importation of Indian slaves until the meeting of the assembly, and to require each ship entering port with Indians on board to give a bond of £50 to remove them from the colony within twenty days. Further they decided that Indians brought into the colony thereafter should be “kept in strictest custody”, and “prevented from communicating with other Indians”, unless the owner gave the same bond as above to take them out of the colony within twenty days.[660] The following October, the general court, copying the Massachusetts act of 1712, made permanent the prohibition to import Indian slaves, since “divers conspiracies, outrages, barbarities, murders, burglaries, thefts, and other notorious crimes at sundry times, and especially of late, have been perpetrated by Indians and other slaves, ... being of a malicious and vengeful spirit, rude and insolent in their behavior, and very ungovernable, the overgreat number of which, considering the different circumstances in this colony from the plantations in the islands and our having considerable numbers of Indians, natives of our country, ... may be of pernicious consequence.” An act was then passed decreeing the forfeiture of all Indians thereafter imported, and the payment of a fine of £50 by the shipmaster or any other person who might bring them.[661] Since this act did not stop the importation, another was enacted in 1750 providing that “all Indians, male or female, of what age soever, imported or brought into this colony by sea or land, from any place whatever, to be disposed of, left or sold within this colony, shall be forfeited to the treasury of this colony, and may be seized and taken accordingly; unless the person or persons importing or bringing in such Indian or Indians shall give security to some naval officer of this colony of £50 per head, to transport or carry out of the same again, within the space of one month after their coming, not to be returned back again to this colony”.[662]
