Clause 32 authorized free people to apprehend enslaved people found in St George’s streets between 9 p.m. and 4 a.m. unless they were attending an owner or held written permission. Those detained could be kept in the town cage until morning. The clause repeats the older town policing regime; it shows that urban mobility and access to nighttime social life remained under surveillance decades after the original measure. (Consolidated Slave Act, clause(s) 32.)
