I have received your despatch No. 127 of the 19th December last, on
the subject of the charges on Mr. Begbie's Commission as Judge of the
 Vice Admiralty Court at British Columbia, and the disposal of the Fees
 payable to that officer, and having referred your despatch for the
consideration of the Lords Commissoners of the Treasury I transmit to
you for your information a copy of the Letter which has been received in
reply. You will communicate their Lordships' decision to Mr. Begbie.
