His Excellency--According to the scalo in the Bill the fee would be $2 less.
The Attorney General said it was con- sidered too complicated to chargo an tauch per ton, and it was considered better to Bx proximate summa for sortsin amounts of tourage.

one Can nuver regn- late this thing with exactitade, think it stands to reason that the larger steamer should pay the large amount and roughly speaking there ought to be an se couding acale.. A very large steator of 4000 or 500 tons ought certainly to pay more the a little stormer of 400 tons. There might under exceptional circumstances be a good deal in what the Hon. mataber (Mr Keswick) says, but I think in the average of cases the general principle holds good that the larger steamer should pay more. I think it is a recognised principle that demorrage is regulated by tonnage.
Mr Keswick-Certainly, but demurrage is an agreed upon amount, and may vary independent of the size
