In 1817 and 1818, Great Britain signed bilateral agreements with Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal to eradicate the illegal slave trade and to establish mixed courts to locally monitor adherence to the treaties. The tribunal representing the Dutch Caribbean was established in 1819 in Suriname. In 1822, a British barrister named John Henry Lance (1793–1877) was appointed the tribunal’s Commissioner of Arbitration. Like many of his colleagues, Lance quickly became an accomplice to both the illicit slave trade and the institution of slavery. This article seeks to illustrate how and why he became increasingly invested in the local slave regime, economically, politically, and emotionally. His actions and testimonies offer an ideal opportunity to study in detail the gradual and, arguably, inevitable adjustment of European newcomers to slave societies.
