Summary
Replying to his letter of the 30th concerning the establishment of military law and the changes that Beresford has proposed which were "...only in the forms & not either in the composition of the Court or in the law by which that court was to decide;" adding that he has "...very cautiously avoided with the Government of this country entering on or meddling in any thing that was not purely military, as being out of my Province & which might occasion jealousies & for which I had various reasons.
