in obedience to your Lordship's instructions, in the localities where they exercise jurisdiction: but the abuses are most rife, and the real difficulties prevent themselves in those parts and places where we have so little trade, where no Consular Authority exists, and where, in consequence, the humane intention of H.M. Govt will almost certainly be thwarted.
I have had several interviews with the Naval Commander in Chief, who with no doubt will convey his opinion to the Lords of the Admy. I understand them to be that the Naval Authorities are not in any case to initiate proceedings against British Vessels offending against the provisions of the Act; that the Naval Authorities are only to be called upon by the Civil functionaries and to lend auxiliary aid.
