Slave Trade Limitation Bill Sparks Mixed Views in Commons
The bill aims to ban slave trading on the northwest African coast from Cape Palmas northward, forbid ships from touching that coast and restrict purchases from there, while allowing visits to Sierra Leone for supplies and setting up a Vice Admiralty Court. Proponents urge reducing cruelty while noting limited actual imports from the prohibited area.

Abolition bill framed as civilizing experiment on African coast
The speech argues the bill accepts slave import needs of the West Indies, eases a district from a coast yielding 74,000 slaves, and claims moral purpose to curb the slave trade. It frames the measure as a test to wean Africa’s north coast from slave commerce, linking civilizing aims to exclusive British trade gains.
