Trial of Pedro de Zulueta, jun., on a Charge of Slave Trading, under 5 Geo. IV, cap. 113, on Friday the 27th, Saturday the 28th, and Monday the 30th of October, 1843, at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, London / A Full Report from the Short-hand Notes of W. B. Gurney, Esq.

by Pedro de Zulueta; William Brodie Gurney

Mr. Kelly. Not at all; it refers to the vessel Urraca.

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. The vessel first in question was the Urraca, not the Augusta.

(Their Lordships referred to the printed Letter.)

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. If your Lordships will look at the bottom of page 38, you will see a paragraph beginning “From my preceding communication.”

Mr. Justice Wightman. He dispatched that ship?

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. Yes.

Mr. Justice Maule. Are there any other letters to the consignee relating to this ship, unless these do?

Mr. Kelly. I hope your Lordships will not take that for granted upon my learned friend’s statement: there are a great variety of documents, of the existence of which the prosecutors are perfectly aware; they have given no notice to produce them, and they would lay the matter open before the Jury.

Mr. Serjeant Bompas. I hope your Lordships will not give the least credit to these statements of Mr. Kelly; they deserve no credit.

Mr. Justice Maule. There are documents, Mr. Kelly says, which we shall see in due time.
