Downing Street, 14th July, 1910.

MY LORD,—I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of your Ministers, the accompanying copies of Orders in Council of the 11th June, 1910, made under section 445 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, and section 4 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, respectively, exempting on certain conditions Dutch ships in ports of the United Kingdom from the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Acts relating to load-line and life-saving appliances, on proof that they have complied with the Dutch regulations on these subjects.

I am informed by the Board of Trade that the provisions of Netherlands law permit of the issue of special freeboard certificates for timber-laden vessels, but that the Netherlands Government have been informed that under no circumstances at present can these certificates be recognized in this country.

I have, &c.,

CREWE.

Governor, the Right Honourable Lord Islington,
