About this record

Content

The letter is an acknowledgement of Kemball's previous letter (folios 394-95), relating to the importation of seven slaves into a port near Bushire. Malet writes that, unless the men implicated in the importation are British subjects, they are not liable to British laws. Given that they appear to be Persian subjects, Malet continues, the Governor in Council considers that they should be dealt with under the existing slave trade treaty with Persia.
