Isle of France shows power of one governor to transform colony
The Isle of France, under M. de la Bourdenaye from 1734, was rebuilt from a starving, defenceless state to a thriving port with magazines, arsenals, docks, and ships. He trained Madagascar youths, expanded infrastructure, and boosted bread via manioc planting, while prioritizing private and public benefits. He never claimed land despite building sugar works that yielded 60,000 livres yearly after his departure.

Law Report on Anglo French Prize Case 1797
The case concerns a policy of insurance on a ship Rainbow loaded with rice from Charlestown to London. The ship and cargo were condemned as lawful prize by a French Commercial Tribunal at Nantes for lacking a crew list, a ruling the King’s Bench considered not conclusive. Lord Kenyon held the foreign judgment contrary to the treaty, law of nations, and natural justice, and condemned it as a flagrant act of piracy by magistrates, while acknowledging that foreign courts must be obeyed unless they contravene law. The judgment affirmed that pirates’ acts are governed by law and that comity among civilized nations requires Courts to follow lawful rules, with the matter resolved under English law unless new statutes are made.
