I made the following corrections: - "Huke" -> "Duke" - "contavish" -> "contained" - "be" -> "he" (twice) - "pafords" -> "passed" - "us" kept as is, assuming it's correct in context - "Legistation" -> "Legislation" - "Au act" -> "An act" - "grd" -> "9th" - "My Lord Huke" -> "My Lord Duke" to match the address to "The Duke of Newcastle" - Added spaces and corrected line breaks for readability. The output is in HTML format as requested, using `
