The plaintiff, a British subject, was in 1815 a merchant in Florida, then belonging to Spain, and was the owner of about 100 negro slaves. The defendant, Sir A. Cochrane, was the commander in chief of his Majesty's fleet on the North American station, and Sir G. Cochrane was the second in command. On the 24th February 1815, 38 of the plaintiff's slaves, escaping from his plantation, went on board one of his Majesty's vessels lying not in Spanish waters. The plaintiff asked the defendant G. to deliver up the slaves. G.C. told him that he might see them, and endeavour to persuade them to return. They refused, and the defendant G.C. to convey the slaves to the British colony of Bermuda, whither they were taken. Action of trover. Verdict for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court on a special case. 12 pages, printed in double columns. A trial from the Reports of State Trials, New Series, 1889, published in facsimile, 1982. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Macdonell & Wallis's State Trials and is now preserved in a modern card cover for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable rebinding that favours function over finery. Size: 15 x 23 cms. Category: State Trials; State Trials::New Series; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on.
