Excerpt from Report of the Acting Committee to the Standing Committee of West Indian Planters and Merchants That your Honorable House will be pleased to take the premises into your early consideration - that measures may be forth with adopted for the introduction of suitable laborers into the West India Colonies - that every practicable means may be employed for the suppression of the Slave Trade, by rendering the squadron on the coast of Africa more efficient, and by enforcing the observance of the treaties with Spain and Brazil - and that the Act 11 12 Vict. Cap. 97, may be so amended as to arrest the further reduction of the duties on all Sugar, the produce of Countries carrying on the Slave Trade. This question will of course be re-introduced early in the next Session, and the Committee hope with success, for they cannot believe that the people of this country will finally determine not only to allow the Slave Trade to proceed without let or hindrance, but also to afford it the greatest possible encouragement.
