CASE STUDY: In 1712, Henry – one of the Lascelles twins – arrived in Barbados and married Mary, the daughter of a slave trader. He, too, went into the slave trade, and between 1713 and 1717, he imported 1,100 of them.

He was accused of extorting £2,000 from a Portuguese ship, and brought back to London to face charges of corruption
