That the Evidence which has been given before this Committee has led them to the conclusion, that although the efforts of Great Britain have not suppressed the Slave Trade, and although it is doubtful whether the number of Slaves exported during the last two years is not greater than in some preceding years, that upon the whole a large reduction of the Trade has been effected, and its probable increase has been prevented.
