Bombay Castle, August 31, 1869.
No. 18.
Mr. Otway to the Secretary to the Admiralty.
Sir, Foreign Office, October 4, 1869.
I HAVE laid before the Earl of Clarendon your letter of the 24th instant, inclosing
a draft of the Instructions which the Lords of the Admiralty propose to issue for the
guidance of naval officers employed in the suppression of the Slave Trade, with a view to
prevent a recurrence of the irregularities complained of on the East Coast of Africa; and
I am to inform you that his Lordship entirely concurs in the proposed instructions.
There is, however, one important question, namely, that of the best places for landing
liberated slaves taken from vessels captured on the East Coast, which is not referred to in
the instructions. The point is one which will have to be considered by the Commission
which will shortly meet for the discussion of Slave Trade questions on the East Coast,
and Lord Clarendon would therefore suggest that the proposed instructions might be
referred to the Commission before they are finally adopted.
I am to return the draft Instructions in accordance with your request.
I am, &c.
(Signed) ARTHUR OTWAY.
