Mr Merivale Register the Acts—& refer them to Sir F. Rogers, & when we write to the Governor upon them, inform him that the Acts should be Authenticated with his sigre & the Seal of the Colony.

I presume we must dispense with the usually required report of the Law Officer of the Colony, as the Chief Justice is our only legal Officer in V.C. Isd & he is not a Lawyer by profession.
