24273Dated from Downing Street London 15 January 1846. A scarce item of which no other copy has been traced. 9pp 8vo. Disbound from a volume and paginated in manuscript 57-65. Extracted from a volume of Parliamentary Circulars with the ownership signature "Frederick Peel" Member of Parliament from Feb. 1849 dated 1839-1851. In good condition lightly aged. Printed in lithograph in facsimile of a manuscript document. Begins by explaining the purpose of the dispatch in true Gladstonian style: ‘I find that the impulse which has been given in every other part of the Civilized World to plans of Railway communication has been felt in many of the British Colonies. The subject has been pressed on my attention from many different quarters and under circumstances both physical and economical as distinct and as various as are the conditions of those widely extended Settlements. To attempt to lay down any one set of rules or even a single rule binding inflexibly on the executive Governments of them all would obviously be futile and impracticable. But the experience of this Country has ascertained some general principles on the subject the application of which it may now be presumed are applicable in various degrees to the Legislation of every Country in this new field of enquiry. The object of this Despatch is to state compendiously what these rules or principles are.’ He proceeds to set out his principles under ten headings. Dated from Downing Street [London], 15 January 1846. unknown

43360A St. Benoist 25 Janvier 1770. 2 pages. 37x25 Cm. 2 feuilles. Ce document manuscrit daté du 25 janvier 1770 émane de la Chambre du Conseil Supérieur de l'Isle de Bourbon aujourd'hui connue sous le nom de La Réunion. Il témoigne de la nomination officielle du Sieur Grinne à un office de Notaire du Roy soulignant sa capacité probité et expérience. Signé et scellé à Saint-Denis ce document est un précieux témoignage des pratiques administratives et judiciaires au sein des colonies françaises du XVIIIe siècle. L'île escale stratégique sur la route des Indes reflète dans ce type de documents officiels l'organisation et l'extension de l'administration coloniale française ainsi que les préoccupations de l'époque concernant la légitimité et la compétence des officiers royaux. La présence de signatures et d'un cachet de cire rouge authentifie le document offrant un aperçu tangible de la bureaucratie de l'époque et permettant de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de gouvernance et de droit dans les territoires ultramarins français.
