The 1825 consolidation identifies an earlier Grenada act, passed on this date, as a measure intended to prevent the further increase of free Black and mixed-race people. The title exposes a colonial project of restricting Black freedom and status, even for people outside legal enslavement. The later source preserves the act’s title and date; this entry does not infer provisions that the surviving text cited here does not reproduce.
