annum & charged a portion thereof on each article when sold or delivered to the owner as there must be a place at Bridlington for the reception of such articles I request your authority for continuing the occupation of the inclosure on the part of the Board of Trade

And with respect to the sale of the articles. It has hitherto been the practice to have a Sale once in each year and as all those articles will have been in possession of the Receiver one year, after the 7 June next, I beg to suggest for your consideration whether a sale of such as may not be claimed in the mean time may not be delayed till that period Secy Marine dept. Board of Trade London

Sir - 7th Nov. 1855 Annexed are two letters, & two notices of findinding in Bridlington Bay of anchors & Chain Cable - which have been forwarded to me by Messrs, Waters, Brambles & Son Lloyds Agents at that place, who as Agents for the respective owners, claim to take possession, as owners under the 450 sec. of th M.S. Act 1854, article (1) without giving the names of the Salvors or real finders. I request your Instructions whether I am to receive such notices from them in that character.

They also claim an Anchor which is in the Admiralty Yard, mentioned in my other letter to you of todays date, respect of which I sent them Form No 13 & directed their attention to Article 4 of directions which they deem too intricate & purpose bringing the subject under your notice I therefore request to be informed whether I am to relax in any requirements set out in the said directions

Marginalia Alongside letter of 7 Nov: The rule is that when an agent claims a written authority from his principal must be produced - this rule must be followed unless any special reason to the contrary can be shewn the property having been lost from the ship having been recovered by Salvors & having been placed in the Custody of the Receiver he is clearly responsible both for its proper delivery & for payment of salvage. Every facility consistent with [?safety] should be given for the restoration of property But the mere fact that a person is known to be Lloyds agent clearly does not prove his title to act as agent for owners Note [?22] Feb 1856
