Excerpt from Records of the Cape Colony, Vol. 25: From 1st January to 6th February 1826, Copied for the Cape Government, From the Manuscript Documents in the Public Office, London Government Advertisement. His Excellency the Governor has observed in his late Tour, that the Arms of Private Persons have been placed over the Drostdies, and also that the Seals of the same Families are still continued to be used in all the public transactions. And although His Excellency is disposed to pay every testimony of respect to the distinguished and Patriotic Persons who have held the high stations in those Districts, still he conceives that no other Arms and Insignias, but those of His Majesty the King of England, can be allowed in such situations, and that the present usage is quite derogatory to the general dignity of Government. His Excellency therefore desires that the several Landdrosts will take measures for placing His Majesty's Arms in front of the Drostdies, in the most conspicuous places, and His Excellency has directed that a sufficient number of Seals, with the King's Arms, and the name of the Drostdy, be prepared for distribution.
