has been removed as it appears to be duplication. The text has been formatted into paragraphs using HTMLtags. Spelling corrections have been made (e.g., "requed" to "request", "dnstruction" to "instruction", "loommittee" to "Committee", "hade" to "Trade", "hanmmitting" to "transmitting", "brown" to "Crown"). Extra spaces have been removed, and minor punctuation corrections have been made to improve readability. The original page numbering ("c369" and "Page 369") is preserved. The signature "(Sd) James Murray" is kept as is, assuming "Sd" is an abbreviation for "Signed". The text at the end ("1") is left as is due to lack of context.
