Excerpt from Anti-Slavery Monthly Reporter: May 31, 1827 Mn. Ross observed, that the whole of the bounties to which the Honourable Gentleman had just alluded, were abolished last year. It ought to be remembered that we ourselves had encouraged the West Indies to look for a monopoly, bv the monopoly, in supplying them with the articles they wanted, which we had established for a long time against them in our own favour. How far it might be proper to con tinne the protecting duties in favour of the West India Colonies, he would not undertake to say; but he thought that the best mode would be for the Honourable Member to withdraw his motion for the present, and leave the matter to his Majesty's Government.
