Sir E. Grey recognizes the difficulty of saying

what is a fair scale of remuneration for professional

services in a matter such as the one in question and

he is aware that any estimate can be only of an

approximate character, but after due consideration he

would suggest for the favourable consideration of the

Lords Carissioners that Ten guineas might very reason-

ably be allotted to Counsel, this sum to include the

clerk's fees, and Twenty guineas to the solicitors

which sun would include the urll disbursements they

refer to in the enclosed letter.

Sir E. Grey understands that the case was very

well conducted for the Appollant and that important

general principles underlying a very difficult question

of criminal law were involved, and he therefore trusta

that their Lordships will give their sanction to the

allowances proposed.

I am, Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,
