Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Document is a typewritten copy of the original. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. The warranty ("By the King of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas. Signed with His Own Hand.") appears to be restricted to instruments affecting the Royal Family. In addition to instruments relating to their styles, it was also used for instruments of consent under the Royal Marriages Act 1772. However, this latter usage appears to have fallen into desuetude.
