I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No 3
of the
5 of September last transmitting a Report of the
Commissioners of the Customs, on the complaint of
M Robert Swanston,
and I am glad to learn that they are of opinion that the proceedings of
Collector
Sangster have been justified and that
M Swanston's
complaint is fully and satisfactorily answered.
I have according to your instructions directed the attention of
Collector
Sangster to the advice offered by the Commissioners of the
Customs, as to the course he should pursue, in future in all disputes or
application for relief in similar cases.
