In reply I am to request that you will state to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton that the Harbour Regulations appear to My Lords to be usual and proper for the purpose of preserving order and regularity in the mooring and berthing of Vessels and for security against fire, and that the coast regulations seem calculated to secure the efficiency of the Boats and to prevent smuggling.
I have etc.
