Historique
Following the 1833 Slavery Abolition Act it was decided to use the Royal Navy to bring an end to the slave trade worldwide, and British diplomats began to negotiate treaties granting the Navy stop and search rights over vessels from various nations. The first set of official instructions to commanding officers setting out the limits of their rights under treaty was issued in 1844 with further editions in 1865, 1882 and 1892.
