ON SLAVE TRADE (EAST COAST OF AFRICA). 109 Governor Barhly to the Reverend -S’. Hobbs. Appendix, No. 5. (Extract.) 16 July 1869. I AM glad to see that the Church Missionary Society are disposed to take into serious consideration the transfer of their stations from the East Coast of Africa to Seychelles. With regard to assistance from the Mauritius Government, you are aware that I have already written home to urge that the expense occasioned by these captured slaves ou^ht to be borne by Imperial funds. This Government, however, would do anything in its power as to a grant of land, and if a school were started, it would of course be entitled to the usual grant-in-aid. As respecting the scope for trained labour on this island, it is as you know practically unlimited, though of late Indian labourers have been very much preferred by the planters to such Africans as were brought here. I may however mention that one gentleman has applied for a permission to bring down from Aden by the mail steamers some of the slaves who have been just liberated there from the dhows captured by the “Daphne” and “ Nymph.” Since these captures I learn from Mr. Ward that the former vessel has landed 52 more rescued slaves at Mahé, who were on his hands when he wrote. You will thus see that an ample field is like'y to be presented for the benevolent efforts of the society. 0 3 0.116.
