My Lord Duke,
I have the honor to request that I may be furnished with copies
of any statements that may have been made by Mr Cameron, Mr Cary,
Mr Begbie and Mr Good in reply to my charges against those
officials, also with a copy of Governor Douglas's report in the matter.
Accompanying my letter of the 18th June 1861 to your Grace were some
memoranda
(of which I now forward a copy), also several other
documents of which I beg particularly to request that the
undermentioned
may be returned to me, viz, office copy of bill of costs in the
action Langford v. King and a letter dated 19th June 1860 applying
for payment to Mr Cary.
(of which I now forward a copy), also several other
documents of which I beg particularly to request that the

The letter from Mr Langford [of] the 18th of [June] does

Sir F. Rogers
This you will see, is from Mr Langford with whom you have corresponded. Besides asking for the return of his own papers, he applies for copies of the statements made in reply to him by the officers whom he denounced. This, I presume, will be refused?

State that the Duke of Newcastle does not consider [it]
necessary or advisable to furnish him with copies of any of the
reports wh H.G. has received from the Colony with reference to his
(Mr L's) letter of the 18th of June.
That it does not appear that that letter contained any
enclosures and that the D of N cannot find that the documents for wh
he applies were ever received in this [cut off microfilm].
(But great care must be taken to make sure [of] this).
Mr Engleheart
Will you be so good as to look at Sir F. Roger's minute on this letter from Mr Langford.

The documents to which he refers have never reached the
Department and were probably never sent to the office, but it is just
possible that they may have been left here by Mr Fitzwilliams when
he called upon the Duke. It is necessary to ascertain this before
the proposed answer is sent to Mr Langford.
