Sir Julian Pauncefote to Mr. Uhl .

Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 1st instant, on the subject of the enforcement of the Paris award in the case of sealing vessels, and requesting to be furnished with a copy of the regulations, if any, applicable to British sealing vessels for the season of 1895.

In reply I have the honor to state that I am not aware of any regulations applicable to British sealing vessels other than those contained in the British act of Parliament and order in council, of which I have had the honor to furnish copies to you, but I have telegraphed to the Earl of Kimberley for the required information.

If there should be any additional regulations, copies of the same will probably be sent out by the first mail from England after the receipt of my above-mentioned telegraphic inquiry, and on receipt thereof I shall lose no time in transmitting them to you.

I have, etc.,

Julian Pauncefote.
