No. 3

I have the honor to enclose herewith a Requisition, for
Books and Printed Forms, and an Official Seal, for public
documents, from the Collector of Her Majestys Customs for the Port of
Victoria.

It is perhaps not perfectly regular to trouble Your Grace, with
such Requisitions; the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs being in
such cases I believe the authorities, who ought to be addressed, but I
thought it expedient to transmit the present Requisition, through your
Grace, for the reason, 
that the Collector of this Port, was appointed by
me to the office, he now holds, pending Her Majesty's approval, which I
have not received, and I therefore thought it probable that the
Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs, might not attend to the
application, unless it were sanctioned, by your Graces recommendation.
