My telegram of 13th August. Please report by telegraph immediately proclamation prize courts; following notice has been issued by registrar prize courts Great Britain and Ireland (begins) All persons having any interest in cargoes other than enemy cargoes laden on enemy ships captured as prizes and requiring a release of such cargoes or portion of cargoes should make enquiries in London at the offices of HM's Procurator General, Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, and at the outports of the United Kingdom at the offices of the Agents for HM's Procurator General those addresses can be obtained from the Collectors of Customs at such outports. H's Procurator General will require proof of ownership and particulars as to the freight whether paid or unpaid. (ends) Notice of course only applies to ships in the ports of the United Kingdom. You should therefore issue similar notice substituting for the Procurator General the proper officer of the Crown within the jurisdiction of the prize courts or such other person as local circumstances may make convenient. In this connection see Order 13 of the Prize Courts Rules enclosed in my despatch of 14th August and the definition (quotation begins) "proper officer of the Crown" (quotation ends) in order one and in rule one of the prize rules of July 18th 1898 which remain in force till new rules pro- claimed. Name of such officer should be reported to me by telegraph as soon as possible. It is assumed that arrangements will be made in suitable cases for the early release under order 13 of the new rules or other (wise) of British and neutral owned goods. As regards advertisements by Registrar in pursuance of order 2 rule 21 of new rules or rule 18 of 1898 rules please telegraph from time to time names of vessels in respect to which writs or monitions have been issued and served with date for appearance in each case.
