Tallow in a damaged state even if it had been duty paid.
Since my Officers called upon him on the subject his
proceedings have been in all respects satisfactory so as to
enable me to convict the wreckers.

Receiver Wreck C Ho. Hull.
is informed that he may return
to Mr Foster the sum of £11.10.0 the amount deposited
by him. RM April 14th /58.
Sec No 4013 - similar information is requested in this
case. T H Farrer

Mr Heaton Foster - the junior partner
of the firm of Messrs Robt & H Foster purchased the
C 5 . 3 0 Tallow in question from Mr Statters Carrier.
When he did so he inquired of Mr Statters where it came
from, who replied that it was wreck tallow. He then
inquired whether the Lord of the Manor had any claim
on it, and was informed that he had not. He
states that it did not strike him to make any
further inquiries - but purchased the same - and
for which he gave a fair price in its changed state
even had it been duty paid. When my Officers called
at his shop he fully explained everything to them - and
looked out for the carrier from whom he purchased
it the next market day - as his name was not known
to him - His conduct throughout - since my Officers
called upon him - has been in every respect satisfactory
in enabling me to convict the wreckers.
