open Court certain observations, a printed statement

the Chief Justice for the purpose of

being forwarded to His Excellency, and on

the same date, by another letter bearing

It appears that there are a few OCR errors and some text is missing or not properly recognized. Here's a step-by-step correction: 1. "The Regietar" -> "The Registrar" 2. "Secutary" -> "Secretary" 3. "R: 1410" -> "No. 1410" (standard notation for letter numbers) 4. "22nd October 1886" -> "22nd October 1880" (consistent with the year mentioned in the letterhead) 5. "J" -> presumably a misrecognition; the context suggests it should be "has professed" without an initial. 6. "cnclosed" -> "enclosed" 7. "ber 6th 1880" -> "September 6th 1880" (since "September" is mentioned later in the line) 8. "M = 235 and" -> "No. M = 235 dated" (standard notation for letter numbers) 9. "addres" -> "addressed" 10. "beretary" -> "Secretary" 11. "grase" -> likely a misrecognition; the context is unclear, but it might be part of "charges" 12. "F. Stewart" is correctly recognized. 13. "Dec:" appears to be incomplete; it might be the start of "December" or another word. The text has been formatted into HTML using `
