at Bridlington -- I have written him a note
saying I cannot comply with his request --
I did not mention your name,-- but
should you know the applicant, - Mr.
Whiteing, - you will probably have the goodness
to explain that by the 445 Sec of the M.S. Act
1854 & paragraph 12 of the Instructions supplied
with G O 106/1855, -- I have no power to nominate
a Deputy where there is a Customs or Coast
Guard establisment--
see G O 106/1855
"The C&C -- however at those Ports within
which there are outlying places having
neither officers of the Customs nor Coast Guard
stationed thereat, - And with respect to which
Districts special directions may be needed,--are
to submit forthwith such arrangement
as may be desirable for the performance of the
duties prescribed by the Act & the Instructions above
mentioned," ---
You will therefore perceive that {yo} were
your establishment not at Bridlington -- I
should have to go to the Board on the matter
Be so good as to return Mr. Whitings letter

Sir --
I herewith send you another letter
I have received from Mr. Whiteing on the subject
of being my deputy Wrecker at Bridlington,-- to whom
I have replied that, -- with reference to my Instructions contained in G. O. 106/1855 --
I have no power to comply with his request when offrs. of
the Coast G. are in the neigbourhood--
With respect to that part of your letter
received this morning with reference to Mr.
Shacklocks objections to have anything to do
