On 28 April 1688, the Crown partially revoked the 1680 prohibition and restored rules from 1655 that permitted Indigenous captivity under specified “rescue” and war conditions. The reversal followed pressure over labor supply and shows how colonial law privileged production and settler demand over Indigenous freedom. These policies were debated and resisted; they also expose the limits of interpreting royal protection as emancipation.
