Attorney-General are shew.

2.

I shall forward Sir H. V. de

Saugmarez's reply to the letter I have addressed to him as

soon as I receive it, and I shall be glad to receive

your instructions as to what steps should be taken to meet

the points raised by Sir F. Piggott at your earliest

convenience as the present unsettled condition consequenti-

-al on Sir F. Piggott's judgment is causing serious in-

-convenience and may affect the revenue of the Colony

which derives a substantial annual sum from fees for

licences for local registration.

I learn in fact from a private

letter of the 25th. instant from Sir H. W. de Saugmarez

that the Shanghai Community is thinking of asking for a

local registry.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Sangare

Governor,&c..
