2. Lord Elgin does not consider that this portion of the business of the arbitra- tion proceedings has been satisfactorily carried out by Mr. Bannerman, but in view of the conditions under which the work had to be done, he can only accept your recommendations. He has accordingly instructed the Crown Agents to pay you the sum of two thousand pounds.

WITH reference to our letter to you of the 10th ultimo, † we have to inform you that a revise of the whole of the transcript of the shorthand writers' notes, with the exception of certain minor questions, has now been agreed with the Company's solicitors, and is being printed. The appendices have also been checked against the original documents in the custody of Mr. Inglis, but we hope to be in a position in the course of next week to agree to the appendices in like manner as the notes.

When the notes and appendices are agreed, we are informed by the printers that it will require a week or ten days to print off the necessary number of copies, consequently, we do not anticipate that it will be possible to send to the Members of the Court prints of the notes and appendices before the end of this month.

We have, &c.,
