—With respect to the question of remuneration for the Emigration Agent, I have only to report, that since we last talked on the matter I have recollected that I wrote on a bit of paper, which Bellairs took, my notion of the terms, as follows, I think,—

£		£
"100,000	—	600
200,000	—	1,200
300,000	—	1,800";

and that my own impression at the time, which I intended to convey, was, that it was not to be a per-centage reckoned on every £100, but reckoned by jumps; so that, unless £300,000 were obtained it should be only £1,200, unless £200,000 only £600. I did not then know B——as well as I do now; and my wish was to give him the strongest interest in raising 100,000 to 200,000, and 200,000 to 300,000. If I had intended a pari-passu per-centage, I should have proposed a lower rate. The higher rate was designed as compensation for the risk that 100,000 might not grow to 200,000, still less to 300,000.
