No. 56 8963, CO 305/29, p. 51; received 17 September 3rd August 1866 Sir,

Referring to my Despatch No 38 dated 2nd June 1866 I have the honor to transmit the copy of a letter from the Superintendent of Police from which it appears that the estate of the late John Curry has now been realized. I have caused a communication to be addressed to Mrs Curry toinform inform her of the fact and to explain to her the necessity of sending to this Colony the documents requisite to procure the payment of the money to her.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant A.E. Kennedy Governor

Philip Hankin, Superintendent of Police, to Colonial Secretary, 27 July 1866, advising that the estate of John Curry had been realized.
Elliot to J.W. Pease, 22 September 1866, forwarding copy of the despatch.
[Letter on above:]
Darlington
27 October1866 Sir,

Alluding to the interview which I had the pleasure of having with you on Thursday last I find on looking to my papers that a letter was addressed from the Colonial Secretary's Office on the 6th of August to Mrs Curry & signed by Mr Wm A.G. Young. I addressed a letter to him on behalf of Mrs Curry on the 26th of Septr suggesting that a certificate of relationship and identity from the clergyman of the Parish would under all the circumstances of the case be a sufficient guarantee to the Colonial Office on handing over her sons effects.

To this I have had no reply.

Believe me to be Yours Sincerely Joseph W. Pease
Copy, Blackwood to Pease, 30 October 1866, advising that he must await an answer from the colony as it is the requirements of the local authorities which had to be satisfied.
Draft reply, Carnarvon to Seymour, No. 1, 1 January 1867.
Mr Fuller has drawn my attention to this case today at the request of Mr Blackwood. It seems to me that there is much room for doubt whether Mr Pease's letter would reach Mr Young and that it is safer to write some such despatch as the present, in order to continue the corresponsence in regular channels.
