Despatch to London
Kennedy, Arthur to Cardwell, Edward 24 January 1865, CO 305:25, no. 2634, 62.

Abstract
Despatch to London. Minutes (2), Enclosures (untranscribed) (1), Other documents (1).
Kennedy requests the provision of clothing for police officers, warders, and prisoners, as it is unobtainable and prohibitively expensive to manufacture in the colony.
No. 7, Miscellaneous
24th January 1865
Sir,
I have the honor to request that the Crown Agents for the Colonies may be instructed to procure and send out to this Colony the articles mentioned in the accompanying Requisition.
Suitable articles of clothing are not procurable here readymade and the high price of labour would render them too costly if made here.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant
A.E. Kennedy
Governor
