With reference to my letter of the
13th November last on the
subject of the repeal of the 163
rd and 328
th sections of the
16 and 17
Victoria C. 107, I am directed by the Lords of the
Committee of Privy Council for Trade to request that you will
state to the
Duke of Buckingham and Chandos that if His Grace
concurs with them in
thinking thinking that course desirable, a favorable
opportunity will present itself in connection with the
Consolidation of the Merchant Shipping Acts now in course of
preparation in this Department, and that My Lords will therefore
be glad to be favored with His Grace's views on this subject at
his early convenience.
