Sir,
I beg to transmit herewith Letters Patent appointing
Matthew Baillie
Begbie Esquire to be Judge of the Vice Admiralty Court in
British
Columbia which have been prepared pursuant to Warrant of the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty.
It being uncertain
what the emoluments accruing to that Gentleman
may amount to, I have caused a Stamp for the lowest amount of duty to be
affixed.
The Fees due to this Department, including stamp duty,
amount to seven pounds, eight shillings and four pence (£7.8.4).
