Brazil Protest Over British Slave Trade Jurisdiction
A Brazilian protest letter warns that Britain’s 1845 act extending admiralty jurisdiction over Brazilian ships abroad infringes Brazil’s sovereignty. It recalls 1815 1817 conventions on abolishing the slave trade, and argues for mutual adaptation or termination of mixed commissions. The note seeks a formal agreement while condemning coercive enforcement.
