Fifty-four fugitive slaves applied to this Consulate during the year for protection freedom. Of these one absconded while his case was under investigation; three were dismissed as not being slaves, and fifty were given freedom with concurrence of the Local Government. The Africans were sent direct to Zanzibar, in accordance with the orders of Government providing for repatriation of Negroes. |
