not appear to me that any blame attaches to either
Mr Foster or Mr Statters J.S.

Mayor Layard Beverley.
Sir, 20th March 1858
In reply to your note of yesterdays on the
subject of Sergt Dove in the case of Smith at Brandes
Burton. As I am waiting the directions of the Board
of Trade, who are my masters in the matter in question
I will thank you to allow it to stand over for a short
time, J.S.

20th March 1858.
Instructions sent to Mr Hoad Sandlemere to
sell Tallow. J.S.

22nd March 1858.
Instructions sent to Mr Hoad, Sandlemere, to
sell spar & Yard. J.S.

23rd March 1858.
Mr Tiddy Easington to Forward expenses of
Mast. No 15.

C O Dowd Esq Solr [Nr?] 3A. Act London.
Dear Sir, 23rd March 1858.
I annex the explanations of Smith
Barker & Willisen. Their plea of ignorance is a feeble
excuse. All the inhabitants of the Coast well know
to whom stranded property found on the shore should
be delivered, and from the recent ill conduct
of many of them an example is necessary
Much more Tallow has been taken away from
the Beach which I have not yet been able to
trace. This case can be proved by Mr Smith
of Brandes Burton.
