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.

The volume presents a complete record of a nineteenth-century criminal prosecution for alleged involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, compiling the full shorthand trial transcript, indictments, witness statements, legal opinions, committee reports, and related correspondence. It reproduces the defendant’s address to commercial interests, testimony taken before a parliamentary select committee on the West African coast, and documentary exhibits used at the Central Criminal Court. Legal argumentation focuses on agency, burden of proof, and the interpretation of a statute forbidding participation in slave trading, while supporting materials include letters, expert summaries, and procedural motions that illuminate mercantile practice and contemporary enforcement challenges.
