In case extensive Colonies shall come there, in order that all may proceed regularly,

the Commanders of said Colonies thereabouts, shall endeavor that from time to time, the judgments delivered within their jurisdiction, whether civil or criminal, with the informations and answers taken thereupon shall be sent to him, that he may examine and see if any excesses have been committed, and in case of any such, to cause the same to be corrected in future ; also if particular malice shall be anywhere observed, to proceed as before, on communication earnestly and rigorously against the malfeasors.

He shall transmit hither by ships coming here, copies both of the judgments and informations sent to him and of those taken and obtained by himself, and allow the institution of all judicial acts necessary to defend the same here.

I have observed this as far as I was able, but the Director must chiefly defend himself.
