pt the home Lawyers of all the British Colonies must distinctly understand that it is one of the Conditions of the tenure by which they hold their Offices, that they should act as the Legal Agents and Advisers of the Board of Ordnance within their respective Colonies - it being reciprocally the engagement of the Crown to employ them in preference to any other Legal Agents or advisers.
2t In any Colony where Law Officer of the Crown is paid by a Salary, his remuneration for Services rendered to the Board of Ordnance annually will bear to his annual Salary, as nearly as may be, the same proportion which the demands of the Board of Ordnance on his time and attention during the year may have borne to the demand, during the same period, on his time and attention by the Colonial Government.
In Colonies where the Law Officers of the Crown are remunerated by fees, the fees to be paid by the Board of Ordnance for the services of any such officers shall be neither greater nor less than the fees which such Officer may receive for any duties of equal importance and difficulty for the Colonial Government.
