Sir, 7th May 1858.
By the annex'd paper you will perceive
that I have recovered from John Smith 3 . 14 -----
Robert Willisen " 19 -----
------------------------
Total £ 5 " 13 . -----
------------------
which sum I have carried to account
A short time ago Leonard Barker called upon
me, pleading poverty and inability to pay, and I granted
him till the 12th instant. to get his share of money
together --- which amounts to £7 . 13 " -- and I have
since inquired into his character which I find to
be very bad, I therefore request that, -- as all the parties
concerned in selling the Droit Tallow have been
punished one way or the other, in the event of his
not paying at the time I have mentioned, I may
be entrusted to proceed against him - there is no
doubt of a conviction. He will - most likely, plead
guilty.
