I beg to acknowledge the receipt of a circular from your Grace,
dated 16th July 1853, intended to draw my attention to a passage in
the Printed Colonial Regulations, which appears open to misconstruction,
and I beg to inform your Grace that I have filed the same among the
public records of this Colony.
I have the honor to be
Your Grace's most obedient humble Servant
