Lugard to Elliot (Assistant Under-Secretary)
War Office
12 April 1862
I have laid before the Secretary of State for War your letter of the 28th March last together with its enclosure from the Admiralty respecting the claim of the Owners
of the "Thames City" for freight of 20 Tons of Hay and Oats shipped
on board that Vessel for Vancouver Island, but subsequently discharged at the request of Colonel Moody.
In reply I am to transmit to you for the information of the Duke of Newcastle the enclosed copy of a letter from Mr E. King, late Deputy Storekeeper at the Tower, from which it appears that the Owners are
entitled to the payment
of the freight.
I am to add that there is reason to believe that the Hay
and Oats thus removed were returned to the Contractor under
arrangements madeby
by Colonel Moody.
