"Sir George Harrison" cannot have been the Attorney-General for the Duchy of Cornwall (a.k.a. His Royal Highness's [the Prince of Wales's] Attorney-General) during this period; this office was held by John Chetwynd Talbot 1843–1852 (London Gazette), Sir Edward Smirke 1852–1863 (ODNB, London Gazette), thereafter by Sir William Alexander, 3rd Baronet (London Gazette).

George Harrison (civil servant), knighted 1831, was *auditor* of the Duchy of Cornwall from 1823 until his death in 1841; his "Substance of a Report on the Laws and Jurisdiction of the Stannaries in Cornwall" was published in 1835 and is available in snippet form on Google Books. It is possible that this work may have been drawn on in the legal proceedings which terminated in the passage of the Cornwall Submarine Mines Act, but he was not attorney general at the time. I suggest that the present article be redirected to George Harrison (civil servant) if it can be verified that he was the author of the points there quoted. Choess 00:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC) reply
