Description

John Wilson Croker. We advised Commissioner Puget of our recommendation that an Act of Parliament should be obtained empowering Commissioners of the Navy when employed on Foreign Stations, to sign certificates respecting the purchase of condemned Naval Stores. We now ask whether it would be advisable to extend to the East Indies, the laws relating to the embezzlement of Naval stores, and that the resident Commissioner should be authorised to administer an oath to all persons connected with the active and civil service of the Navy as well as the contractors.
