OF GOOD HOPE.

" DOW NI N G-S flt EET, DECErbirirn 3.

" Sta—Earl Barnecav has received representations from
several of the Settlers proze,2,ling, to the Cspe of Good Hope,
setting forth the difficulty and inconvenieace under which they
are placed by the existing Laws in respect to the Exportation of
Arms and Ammunition; and I have to request that you will
state to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, that there
exists no objection on his part to allow the Settlers to take with
them such proportion of Arms and Ammunition as may appear
clearly intended for their ir.dividual use, leaving it to those who
may be,desiress to export larger quantities of these articles, to
obtain the usual licences for that purpose from the Lords of the
Council; and I have therefore to request, that you will move
the Lords of the Treasury to cause such directions to be given
to the Officers of his Majesty's Revenue-of the Customs, as they
may conceive best calculated to facilitate tie embarkment of
Arms and Ammunition belonging to the BMWs.
