British Consulate, Elsinore, Feb. 8, 1837.
Sir,—Sir Henry Wynn, his Majesty's Minister at the Court
of Copenhagen, has communicated to me a letter, addressed to
him by the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, under data
of the 2d inst., of which the following is the purport :---It
appears that in the salvage case of the Forth of Newcastle,
which occurred on the north coast of Jutland, in October, last
year, the remuneration stipulated for by Mr. Rasinus Bergen,
of Fredericksbam, was much higher than the Danish laws
allow to agents on similar occasions ; but, independent of
that remuneration, which upon the produce of the sale
amounts to
The agent has still charged for arranging
the sale, the ship and her tackle, 2 per
cent.
For encashing the amounts, 4 per cent
For porterage and carriage, translations and
copies, stamps and postages
Remuneration as agent for Lloyd's ..

a sum which is stated to exceed one-half of the salvage, and
to be more considerable than all other expences. The charge
of Rbd. 120, as agent for Lloyd's, is particularly objected to,
as his whole trouble was confined to controlling his own ac-
tions. The local authorities having represented to Captain
Black, the master, that they considered the above charges exor-
bitant, and that according to the existing law the agent would
be obliged to reduce them considerably, if the case were
brought forward, he replied that he found them reasonable,
and intended to allow the salary stipulated. In consequence
of this communication, which has been made at the request of
the Danish Chancery, in order to check the agents on the
coast whose impositions in similar cases have given rise to
frequent complaints, I have to request that you will cause
the present letter to be communicated to the parties con-
cerned, in order that they may authorise me if they think pro-
per to receive the overcharge through the medium of the
Danish Chancery, to whom all agents acting in cases of sal-
vage are amenable.—l have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
FRANCIS MACGREGOR.
Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's.
