our opinions as to the duties imposed on us respectively by English Law differ so widely in the enclosed case that I draw attention to it.
9. If my view be correct I would further suggest that the opinion of Consul Robertson, and of the diplomatic body here in reference to the legality of the original bold confiscation of the "Prince Albert" may not be so sound as that sounded by Mr Panncefot, Attorney General of the Colony. My interest in that case makes me therefore less reluctant to draw attention to the Consul's legal argument in favor of the forcible rendition of a woman to Slavery.
10. Had he withdrawn his application or given some reason to suppose that he had altered his opinion of the law, I should not have alluded to this case. As he has not done so, and it is even quite possible that he may have represented to the Secretary of State that I may comply with his requisition, I think on the whole it is a grievance my direct refusal.
