Taylor to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)

The Lord Chancellor's Secretary of Commissions of the Peace having
handed to me your letter of the 23rd Instant requesting to be
supplied with a copy of the Form of Instrument appointing Magistrates to
Commissions of the Peace in this Country, I enclose copy of the form of
a Commission of the Peace for Counties, also for Boroughs in England and
Wales, and also the form of Dedimus Potestatem and Oaths used and taken
by County Magistrates on their qualifying—the same oaths are taken by
Borough Magistrates but the Dedimus is not issued for the purpose.
