No. 41
23 April 1870
I have had the honor to receive Your Lordship's Circular
Despatch of the 7th March, with an Extract of a Letter from the
Board of Trade representing that the Returns of Wrecks and
Casualties sent home from the Colonies are in many respects
defective.
2.
2. On enquiry I find that these Returns have never been made
from this Colony; as far as I can ascertain have never been
asked for; nor have the necessary forms for the purpose been
supplied by the Board of Trade. If the Board will now furnish
these, the returns will be regularly made by the Collector of
Customs.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord,
Your most obedient
humble Servant
A. Musgrave
Minutes by CO staff
Mr Hemming
To Board of Trade & ask if they would wish to have the Returns.
At once.
