whichi ought to have been delivered to a Receiver
of Wreck had been sold by them to Mr William

and that Mr Smith had resold the same to
Mr Yates a Tallow Chandler at Beverley for
£15 " 15 . 0 -- also that Mr Yates had deposited with
me the sum last named. __ I beg to acquaint you
as stated in my letters to Solicitor of Customs, for your
information - of the 28th March last, and 24th Ulto, -
that the same sum of £13 " 6 . 0 has been paid to me
by the three men named. _ I therefore - as
Mr Yates' transaction in the matter was in all
respects perfectly fair and legitimate _ request your
