The second leaf is also docketed, and carries two circular postmarks, one from 'WEST BROMWICH'. Williams writes that he has returned to find 'an enquiry about the nails & chains'. He gives a price be…low which he cannot go, adding: 'I must be paid for the Casks: but if a quantity of nails had been wanted I would have given my trouble on the other things, as I should have made a profit on the nails'. The 'last Casks were indifferent as the P had a bad bargain. I would not send new ones. If I send more I must buy them.' The final paragraph reads: 'I confess the price for Chains seems high, but they are very light, & would be useless if made with bad iron, such as Scotch hot blast but if you will venture that, I am of opinion you may get them in London at a lower rate. I will assist you if you wish without making any charge for services.'.

Aggiungi al carrelloOn 29 November 1856 The Times had reported that 'The 26th company of the Royal Engineers, under the command of Captain G. E. L. Walker, R.E., will leave the head-quarters of that establishment at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, this morning for Gravesend, where they will embark on board the Appoline, [sic] for Bermuda.' Both items i…n good condition, on lighty aged and worn paper. Both docketed by the recipients. ONE: Tomlins to Hankeys, 13 December 1856. 3pp., 4to. Bifolium. Tomlins begins: 'This morning I received your Telegraphic message and had already put the Sails on shore to repair as also my boats & Quarter Davits but did not note a Protest, as nothing of great importance has happened, and the ship & all Mast & Yards &c are as good as when I left. The reason of my putting into this Port was upon the Commanding Officer & the Captain of the Troop writing to me to do so - and it blowing a severe Gale - & having met with the damage I mentioned in my last, and a clause to that effect being in the Charter Party - I considered I was obliged to do so, altho the Admiral (Sir Henry Chads) whom I have been in communication with several times upon the subject, seems to think the commanding officers ought not to have order'd me into Port.' He is replenishing his stores, and awaiting the orders of the transport agent (although 'the Admiral thinks I need not'). He has been obliged to take 'John Parks (Cook) [.] out of the Galley'. The ship 'has been in much greater safety' since his arrival in port. He concludes by reporting that 'The convict ship Norman Monson is still here'. TWO: 'true Copy' of letter in Tomlins autograph, and signed by him. Adressed by 'W. Mosse, Captn 26th Regt | Commanding | Edward Walker | Captn R.E.' to 'Harold Tolmlins Esqre | Master | "Apolline"', and dated from the Apolline on 10 December 1856. 1p., foolscap 8vo. 'We have the honor to request that as we have now been eleven days at Sea without getting out of the Irish Channel and the wind being still Contrary, and as we have moreover lost a considerable portion of our live stock in yesterdays Gale that in compliance, with a clause to that effect in your Charter Party you will proceed without delay to the most convenient port - in order to complete your supplies of water & provisions, and make good the damages sustained to your Boats & Sails in the late Storms'. On 20 July 1854 The Times had reported, under the heading 'Emigration from Plymouth', that 'the Appoline [sic], of 500 tons', had embarked its complement of emigrants from the Government depot in Plymouth, and had set sail for Melbourne. The newspaper noted: 'The Appoline is the property of Messrs. Thomson [sic] Hankey and Co., and is commanded by Captain Tomlins, who has made some very successful passages.' The ship was named after the wife of Thomson Hankey the younger (1805-1893), daughter of William Alexander. From the papers of the Hankey banking family.

The signature, in a different hand from the rest of the document, is difficult to decipher: ' | Barrister at Law'. (The Paterson family were prominent on the island.) The document begins: 'The question submitted to me for an opinion is… whether Messrs Thomson Hankey & Co. are entitled to a right of way for carts drawn by cattle &c along a passage lying between a lot of land in the Town of Grenville the property of the firm, and a lot in the occupation of Mrs. V. Morrison. That Messrs Thomson Hankey & Co. are entitled to a right of foot-way and a right of way for hand carts is not disputed by Mrs. Morrison; but she claims that no right of way for carts drawn by cattle &c. exists.' The barrister proceeds to give his opinion (that the firm do have a right of way) by presenting a mass of local information. From the Hankey & Co. banking archive.

Clarendon considers the subject 'well worthy of consideration with reference to the Mesopotamia Estate', and suggests that Hankeys 'might possibly think it adviseable [sic] to direct Mr. Johns to make enquiry as to the success which has attended Lord Howard's operations'.
