2nd February 1870
My Lord,
In Your Lordship's Despatch No 111 of the 17th December my
attention was called to the Duke of Buckingham's Despatch No 69
of 31st August 1868, as one which should have been included
in the Schedule of those unanswered. ThatDespatch
Despatch refers to
the Ordinance No 18 of 1867 "to amend the duties of Customs"
and to a Report from the Commissioners of Customs, said to be
therein transmitted, suggesting alterations in sections
four and eight of the Ordinance.

2. I think there must have been some accidental substitution
of one Report for another in respect of the Enclosure forwarded.
The one received is dated 23rd July 1868,No
No 293—and does
not suggest any alterations in sections
four and eight.
It seems to refer to a previous report; and treats principally
of section
seven of which, with the other provisions of the Ordinance
mentioned, the Commissioners appear not to disapprove.

3. But in any case, unless Your Lordship should regard it as
imperatively necessary to do so, I should be unwilling at
present to openany
any discussion upon the Customs duties Ordinance
by suggesting amendments to the Council.

Mr Holland
You will see that the Report of the Commr of Customs which the Govr ought to have recd was that in a previous Ty letter 12663—not that in the 2d 9147.

Mr Herbert
I should be disposed to send him a copy of the Report of the Commissrs in 12663 in which objections were stated to sections 4 & 8. I should add that though Ld G concurs in the objections & thinks them worthy of consideration the Governor may exercise his own discretion as to opening any discussion upon them by suggest[ing] amendment. Govr Musgrave may be trusted upon this matter.
