Mr Foster Junr attended at Leaven on the 8th instant

the £11 " 10.0 which they deposited with me to represent
the said Tallow, - may be returned. From the ready manner
in which Messrs Foster came forward and afforded every
explanation in their power of the matter - their application
appears to me - to merit a favorable consideration.
I reported the conviction of Danby
and partners in a Letter dated
the 10th Inst addressed to Mr O Dowd
