SLAVE TRADE ACT 1873 - SECT 9

9. A vessel seized in pursuance of this Act, when condemned by a slave court,
may be taken into Her Majesty's service upon payment of such sum as the
Admiralty deem to be a proper price for the same (which sum is in this Act
called the appraised value of such vessel), or if not so taken, shall be
broken up, and the materials thereof shall be publicly sold in separate parts.

Provided that nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the government of
any foreign state, under any treaty, to require such vessel to be broken up,
or to take such vessel into its service upon payment of a sum fixed in
accordance with such treaty, and any sum paid by the government of a
foreign state for a vessel taken into its service after condemnation by a
slave court shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act to be the appraised
value of the vessel.
