John Davinier:
M'lord! If you find for the traders, you will be formalizing in law the concept of insuring human cargo.

Lord Mansfield:

John Davinier:
Then know that when you are gone, your legacy will be to have left Miss Lindsay in a world where she may be worth more dead than alive.

Lord Mansfield:
Miss Lindsay is not a slave.

John Davinier:
By the very grace of God!

Lord Mansfield:

John Davinier:
Of course it is. It's about all of us. It's about everything... everything that's important.

Lord Mansfield:
