1791réf. 3649Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1791. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. Untrimmed. Paper tanned. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. Bound in later hardpaper boards covered with pastepaper spine with red gilt leather title vignette. 18 2 blank p. Official report on the 1786 “Commission de Tabago” an extraordinary tribunal established to examine debts between British creditors and settlers after the French conquest of the island. First edition of the National Assembly’s official report on the controversial “Commission de Tabago” an extraordinary tribunal established in 1786 under the ancien régime to review debts between British capitalists and settlers after the French conquest of Tobago. The report reconstructs the background of the island’s transfer: originally ceded to Britain in 1763 Tobago had been largely settled and financed by British investors who lent capital for the development of sugar estates secured by mortgages. Following the French conquest 1781 and definitive cession Treaty of Paris 1783 the treaty guaranteed the inhabitants’ property rights under English law. Nevertheless in 1786 the Conseil du Roi created a special commission at Tobago to investigate alleged usury and excessive interest rates in these mortgage contracts. The commission—presided by the governor and ordonnateur—confiscated titles annulled or reduced debts and declared most English claims void provoking losses estimated at over 13 million livres. This Rapport examines the legality of the tribunal under both French and English law concluding that it was arbitrary unconstitutional and in violation of the 1783 peace treaty. The committees show that English statutes were misquoted that the island’s existing courts Common Pleas and Chancery already had proper jurisdiction and that no disputes existed before the commission was imposed. The report also denounces the suppression of trial by jury and the disregard of due process. It recommends—and the Assembly accepted—that the entire commission and its judgments be annulled thereby restoring lawful jurisdiction in the colony. The episode marked one of the last acts of French administration on Tobago which was recaptured by Britain in April 1793 returned to France in 1802 under the Treaty of Amiens and formally surrendered under the Treaty of Paris in 1814. An important Revolutionary document reflecting early attempts to reconcile French constitutional principles with colonial administration and international treaty obligations. Not in Sabin.

réf. 23456Howick 25 June 1857. Six pages 12mo good condition. He finds it difficult to give advice because of his "being so imperfectly informed as to the present state of the question of immigration into Guiana. - It is obvious that the course which ought to be taken must depend upon whether the Colonists have or have not reason to complain of the conduct of the Government.- If they have & if any facilities for obtaining labour which might be granted to them have been with-held then a discussion would seem to be desirable & in the present word obscured of the session & if parties in the House of Commons I do not see how you could ruin a discussion except by asking a question & making a statement in explanation of it going into Committee of Supply. But if the Govt as I think it most likely sincerely desire to do all that can properly be done to encourage immigartion & only refuse to consent to measures to which there is a just objectn it would seem to me doubtful whether there would be any advantage in bringing on a discussion or whether it would be quite right to do so. - For this reason if I had remained in town & had had words deleted to present the petition to the House of Lords I would in the first instance have called upon the gentlemen connected with the colony in this country for a clear explanation of what they want & of the grounds on which they think the government ought to do more for them & I w-ould have endeavoured to satisfy myself whether they are right or wrong in order that in presenting the petition I might express the opinion I had formed which you know is allowed in the House of Lords. .".
