Corrected minor errors: 1. "to-" -> "to, " 2. "deserving your Lordship's consideration_" -> "deserving your Lordship's consideration" 3. "Ster" -> "Her" (correcting "Ster Majesty" to "Her Majesty") 4. "fived" -> "fixed" 5. "so" removed as it seems out of place 6. "Richard Samus Mardonmell" -> "Richard Graves MacDonnell" (correcting the name)
