WHEREAS there was this day read at the Board a Memorial of the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated the 9th of this instant February, in the words following, viz. :-
"Whereas by His late Majesty's Order in Council of the 27th of June 1882 certain Rules and Regulations touching the Practice to be observed in Suits and Proceedings in Courts of Vice-Admiralty, and also certain Tables of Fees for the several Courts of Vice-Admiralty then existing, were established: And whereas the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for the time being did, on the 4th day of February 1846, by due authority constitute a Vice- Admiralty Court at Hong Kong: And whereas by an Order of Her Majesty in Council, bearing date the 25th day of June 1851, the 25th Section of the said Rules and Regulations which relate to Prosecutions for a Breach of the Laws for the Abolition of the Slave Trade were expunged, and in lieu thereof other Rules and Regulations relative thereto were established for the several Vice-Admiralty Courts in Her Majesty's Possessions abroad: And whereas it is desirable to establish Rules, Regulations, and Tables of Fees for the said Vice- Admiralty Court at Hong Kong: We do therefore most humbly submit to Your Majesty, that Your Majesty will be most graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to establish for the said Vice-Admiralty Court at Hong Kong the aforesaid Rules and Regulations for the several Vice-Admiralty Courts as altered by the said Order in Council dated the 25th June 1851, and that the Tables of Fees, marked Nos. 1. and 2. hereto annexed, which have been prepared by persons of competent authority, and approved by Your Majesty's Advocate General and the Advocate of the Admiralty, and sanctioned by the Judge of the High Court of Admiralty of England, be established by Your Majesty's Order in Council as the Rules and Regulations for the said Vice-Admiralty Court at Hong Kong, and the only Fees to be taken or received by the Officers and Practitioners of the said Vice-Admiralty Court; and also, that the Fees directed to be taken by the Order in Council dated the 27th of June 1832 in undefended Prosecutions for Breach of the Acts for the Abolition of the Slave Trade' be expunged, and that the Table of Fees hereunto annexed, marked No. 2., and which is similar to that established for the Vice-Admiralty Court at Saint Helena by Her Majesty's Order in Council dated the 25th of June 1851, be established by Your Majesty's Order in
C

Council as the only Fees to be taken and received by the Judges, Registrars, Marshals, Advocates, and Proctors of the several Vice-Admiralty Courts in Your Majesty's Dominions abroad."
Her Majesty, having taken the said Memorial and the Tables of Fees therein referred to into consideration, was pleased, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, to approve thereof, and of what is proposed in the said Memorial in regard to Rules and Regulations and the Table of Fees for the Vice-Admiralty Court at Hong Kong, and in regard to the Table of Fees for the several Vice-Admiralty Courts in Her Majesty's Dominions abroad, which Tables of Fees are hereunto annexed; and the Right Honourable the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are to give the necessary directions herein accordingly.

It is not easy to lay down any precise Rules respecting Fees to Counsel, inasmuch as the amount must depend upon the circumstances of each particular case with reference to its length, importance, and difficulty.
In all undefended Cases, and in matters of no great difficulty, one Counsel ought to be considered sufficient.
Subject to these observations, the following suggestions are made for the guidance of the Proctor in feeing Counsel, upon matters which most frequently occur in the progress of a suit.
Retaining Fee to an Advocate
For perusing, settling, and signing Information or Libel, Claim and Affidavit, Act on Petition, responsive Plea (or Replication) to Libel or Information, or Act on Petition, according to the length or difficulty
For perusing, settling, and signing Interrogatories, Answers, &c., when the

that

The Salary of the (beef Superintendent preveonily to the termination of the war in China, and the establishment of the Govermess of Hongkong, was $3000, a gear; and if at
offices of Governor of Houghing

as was
and Chief Superintendent should be separated, it would probably be found recepary to grant to the thief Superintendent the same amount of Salary formerly granted to that Officer.
Moreover when the Salary of £6000, assigned to the holder of the Offices, it was understood that
a year was assigned to the
combined Offices,
one
moiety of
that sum was
assigned
