Answer:

Lt. Gedney

Step-by-step explanation:

It ordered that the captives be delivered to the custody of the President of the United States for transportation to Africa, since they were, in fact, legally free. It allowed the Spanish vice-consul to claim the slave Antonio. It allowed Lt. Gedney to claim one-third of the property on board La Amistad.
