Mixed Commission Courts established slave trade 1817

In 1817, a third treaty was made, under which the Mixed Commission Courts and Preventive Squadron were established
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 0.70 pass — The passage directly states that Mixed Commission Courts were established in 1817 under a treaty. The claim's predicate and temporal information are supported. The object 'slave trade' is implied in context but the passage specifies the courts were established 'under which the Mixed Commission Courts... were established' in relation to slave-trade treaties, making this a minor rewording rather than a direct statement of the full relationship.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.90 pass — The claim is highly faithful to the passage. The quote is verbatim, the time qualifier (1817) is accurate, and the sentiment (neutral) matches the passage's factual presentation. However, there is a minor issue with the predicate object: the passage states that Mixed Commission Courts 'were established' under a treaty relating to the Portuguese slave-trade, but the courts themselves were established as institutional bodies, not specifically 'to establish the slave trade' or directly connected to it as an object. The predicate-object relationship could be more precisely stated as 'established' (by treaty) rather than 'established slave trade.' The viewpoint, stance, and context qualifiers are all appropriate and faithful.

The mixed commission courts cost the country about £15,000 per annum
judge verdicts (2)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage: 'The mixed commission courts cost the country about £15,000 per annum.' The quote provided matches the source text exactly, with no rewording or interpretation required.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the author (the passage presents this as the author's own statement, not attributed to a named source). The stance is correctly marked as 'asserts' - the author states this as fact without dispute. The sentiment is neutral, appropriately reflecting the factual tone of the cost statement. The time qualifier is correctly null as the passage provides no specific temporal scope beyond the general context of the document. The context is empty, which is appropriate as there is no restriction to a particular sense or role. The quote appears verbatim in the passage and directly supports the claim.

On the 31st of December, twenty years after the establishment of the mixed commission courts
judge verdicts (4)
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The passage directly states 'On the 31st of December, twenty years after the establishment of the mixed commission courts,' which directly supports that the mixed commission courts were established twenty years before December 31st.
- qualifier_fidelity 0.50 fail — Multiple qualifier issues: 1) VIEWPOINT - the passage does not attribute this statement to 'author'; it specifically attributes it to 'Messrs. Macaulay and Doherty' who made a statement to Lord Palmerston. The viewpoint should be 'Macaulay and Doherty', not 'author'. 2) TIME - the claim states the object as 'twenty years before 31 December' but provides no specific year context. The passage references '31st of December' without specifying which year, making the normalized date ambiguous and potentially unfaithful to the temporal scope the passage actually provides. The time qualifier should either specify the year or acknowledge the ambiguity in the source. 3) QUOTE - while the phrase appears in the passage, it is presented as a contextual frame for the Macaulay-Doherty statement, not a direct claim by them about establishment.
- groundedness 1.00 pass — The claim is directly stated in the passage. The opening sentence explicitly mentions 'On the 31st of December, twenty years after the establishment of the mixed commission courts,' which directly supports that the mixed commission courts were established twenty years before that date.
- qualifier_fidelity 1.00 pass — All qualifiers are faithful to the passage. The viewpoint is correctly attributed to the narrator (not a named source); the stance is appropriately 'asserts'; the sentiment is neutral; the temporal information accurately reflects that the mixed commission courts were established twenty years before the 31st of December mentioned in the passage; the context is appropriately empty as none is specified; and the quote is verbatim and supports the claim.
