In this case a deposition was not taken - the I[...] Comm of the C. Guard not feeling himself authorysed by the M.S. Act 1854 to take such deposition. I will therefore thank you to inform me with reference to the 445 Sect of the Act whether he has such power or with reference to 448 Sectn whether a declaration can be taken only by a Receiver or by a Justice. And also as no deposition was taken whether one should be charged for of course all expenses incurred will be charged and I presume the 3 guineas I am to charge is under the sanction of the last paragraph of the Table of Fees at page 105.
