author's own last parchment may not therefore he considered
out of place. His first as chief trader was dated 1S68, under
the deed poll of 1834; the next as factor, under the deed poll
of 1871, was granted i n 1S72, and the following i n 1875. I
may premise that the former recognized but two ranks, those
of chief traders and chief factors, while the latter has four
grades, namely, junior chief traders, chief traders, factors,
and chief factors. Except i n the title conferred, all of the
commissions are exactly similar. The chief factor commission
is as follows:
RODERICK MACFARLAXE, Esquire:
By virtue of the charter granted by King Charles the Second
by his letters patent under the great seal of England bearing date
the second day of May, in the twenty- second year of his reign, to
the governor and company of adventurers trading into Hudson's
Bay, we do hereby appoint you a chief factor of the said company
in all places where trade is carried on by the said company.
You are therefore, In virtue of this commission, to exercise all
the powers and to perform all the duties which now are or hereafter
may be exercised and performed by a chief factor, and particularly
to observe all the provisions of the deed of regulations,
under the common seal of the company, which bears date the nine-teenth
day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one,
and we do hereby order and direct all our clerks and other
servants strictly to obey such orders as you may think proper to
give them in the execution of the duties of your office. And you
are to observe and follow such orders, from time to time, as yon
shall receive from us, the governor, deputy governor and committee
of the company, or our successors for the time being, and all orders
issued by our chief commissioner or resident governor.
Given under our common seal at our house in London, this first
day of June, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- five.
By order of the governor, deputy governor and committee.
[ SEAL.*] W. ABMIT, Secretary.
* The seal consists ot a coat- of- armB, with the motto Pro pelle cutern, around which are the
words " Hudson's Bay Company, Incorporated, 1670."
The original seal is entirely of a blue colour and omits the words " Hudson's Bay Company.
Incorporated, 1670."— R. MACF.
