7108. When you speak of individuals being interested, you mean that
there are individuals incidentally benefited by the commerce which the
slave trade gives rise to in that country?--Precisely; that is what I
mean. For instance, supposing the slave traders at the Gallinas had been
supplied by a British commercial house, that probably would have been
more profitable to them than any prospect of produce trade after the
slave trade of the Gallinas was destroyed.


_Lunæ, 25º die Julii, 1842._

MEMBERS PRESENT.

  Sir T. D. Acland.
  Mr. Aldam.
  Viscount Courtenay.
  Viscount Ebrington.
  Captain Fitzroy.
  Mr. Forster.
  Sir R. H. Inglis.
  Mr. Wilson Patten.
  Mr. G. W. Wood.

  VISCOUNT SANDON in the chair.

  Captain the Honourable _Joseph Denman_, R. N. called in; and further
  examined.

10646. _Chairman._] What evidence had you of those parties being British
subjects whom you brought back to Sierra Leone?--I found them in the
barracoons mixed with other slaves for exportation; I took them to
Sierra Leone; they were examined, both speaking English, by the Governor
of Sierra Leone in my presence; the opinion of the Governor of Sierra
Leone was, that it was most undoubtedly the fact that they were British
subjects; one was a liberated African and the other a Creole, born in
Sierra Leone.

10647. Mr. _Forster_.] Do you consider them, under those circumstances,
as fairly and properly entitled to the appellation of British
subjects?--As completely as any person in this room.

10648. Was the circumstance of your finding them at the Gallinas the
ground upon which you took your proceedings there and burnt the
place?--It was the principal ground of those proceedings; the grounds
have been already stated in my former evidence; I think that was the
most important ground.
