SIR, -In reply to your letter of the 2nd October
last, requesting information as to the mode of proceed-
ing in regard to vessels constructively lost for which
the Registry Certificate has been given up, as directed
by the 53rd section of "The Merchant Shipping Act,

163
1854," in order to the due closing of the original
Registry :
I have to inform you that on the vessel being
again made seaworthy, and duly surveyed, the pur-
chaser of the wreck would be entitled to re-registry on
production of the bill of sale under which he acquired
the vessel, on his making the requisite declaration of
ownerership, reciting the former particulars of the
origin of the vessel. In all such cases of re-registry the
former name and official number should be retained.
In any case of doubt as to the bona fide of the
vessel as wreck, you would not proceed to such re-
registry without the direction of the Governor of
your Colony.

I am, Sir, &c., &c.,
W. H. G. LOWE,
Chief Registrar of British Shipping.
