Debate Over Slave Trade Prohibition Bill in Parliament
The debate centers on abolishing the slave trade and establishing safeguards for Africa via the Sierra Leone Company. Supporters argue for total abolition or large cuts, while opponents warn of monopoly aims and warn against ceding to illicit trade. The House moves to commit the Slave Carrying Bill and adjourns after a divisive division on Smith's clause.
