Report addressed to the Earl of Clarendon by the Committee on the East African Slave Trade, dated January 24, 1870.

Abstract

In accordance with your Lordship's instructions we have given our careful attention to the subject of the Slave Trade on the East Coast of Africa, and to the measures necessary for its suppression, and we beg to submit the following observations for your Lordship's consideration. It may be well, however, before proceeding to state the conclusions to which we have come, that we should give a brief sketch of the Traffic, and of the mode in which it is at present carried on.
