I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of Your Grace's Despatch No 79 of the 15th May last, in which Your Grace has entered into a review of four Proclamations transmitted with my Despatch No 11 of the 6th February 1861.

2. I beg to tender my apologies for the delay whichoccurred occurred in forwarding those Proclamations, and I cannot but admit the full force of your Grace's strictures on the loose manner in which they appear to have been drawn. I have forwarded a copy of your Despatch for the information of the Attorney General, and I will take care that the alterations suggested are attended to, and that the publication of Her Majesty's disallowance of the Act to facilitate the trial of Criminals, be made without delay.

3. I feel much indebted to Your Grace for the great trouble you have taken in addressing me upon this subject, and for so kindly and so clearly pointing out the great errors into which we have fallen.

I have the honor to be My Lord Duke, Your Graces most obedient and humble Servant, James Douglas
