  THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1843.
  THE CHARGE OF TRADING IN SLAVES.

Mr. _Clarkson_ applied to their Lordships to take the bail for Mr. de
Zulueta, arranged by the Recorder on the previous evening. He explained
that only one of the sureties having been present, and the hour too late
to obtain the other, Mr. de Zulueta had been enlarged upon giving his
own recognizance in 6,000_l._, and one security in 2,000_l._ He was now
in Court with Mr. Glyn, the well-known banker, and Mr. Wilcox, who were
ready to enter into the sureties of 1,000_l._ each, Mr. de Zulueta
himself being ready to give his personal recognizance in 3,000_l._

Mr. _Payne_, who was retained for the prosecution, had no objection.

Mr. _Clarkson_ then applied to have the trial, both for the felony and
the misdemeanor, postponed to the next session.

Mr. _Payne_ consented.

Mr. de Zulueta then entered into the requisite securities.
