Address from the Members of the Court of Policy and Criminal
Justice of the Colony of Berbice, to his Excellency Brigadier-
General JAMES MONTGOMERIE, Acting Governor and Mili-
tary Commander of the said Colony.
General—As Members of this Court, and in the name of the
respectable inhabitants of the Colony of Berbice, we have the ho-
nour of addressing your Excellency to express our heart-felt ac-
bnowledgments of the benefits experienced by the community
at large under your mild and impartial administration, while act-
ing as Governor and Military Commander. The sentiments we
shall ever retain of the disposition always evinced by your Excel-
lency, to whatever tended to promote the public w •Ifare, and the
happiness we consequently enjoyed during your residence among
us, may be imperfectly conveyed in yards: but is indelibly root-
ed in our hearts, a tribute, we flatter ourselves, the most accept-
able to your Excellency we can offer. We are requested also by
those inhabitants to appropriate the sum of one thousand pound:
sterling in such manner as may be most agreeable to your Excel-
lency, as a small testimony of their esteem and gratitude, as Mem-
bers of the Court of Policy and Criminal Justice.

Government-house, Berbice, N0v.15, 1808.
Gentles en—lt is impossible for me to express in adequate
terms the feelings excited by the very flattering addrtss presented
to me in your capacities as Members of the Honourable Court of
Policy and Criminal Justice ; and in the name of the respectable
inhabitants of the Colony of Bertice. The approval of my con-
duct during my administration of this Government, is to me the
most gratifying testimony that could be conferred, and, however
cinch my desire has been to merit your approbation, I must be
sensible the manner in which it is conveyed far exceeds my de-
sert or expectations. I shall ever recollect with peculiar plea-
sure and satisfaction the many happy days of my residence at
Berbice, whose hospitable inhabitants shall always retain my
warmest wishes for their prosperity and happiness. I beg leave,
through your medium, to return my grateful acknowledgments
to them all, for their favourable sentiments and extremely liberal
donation of £lOOO sterling, to be appropriated agreeable to my
wishes; and which sum I must request the favour of your apply-
ing in the purchase of a service of plate, with a suitable inscrip-
tion, which I shall retain as a precious memorial of the esteem of
my friends in Berbice.
I have the honour to be Gentlemen,
Your most obedient bumble servant,

JAMES MONTGOMERIZ.
