No. 88

I have had the honor to receive Your Lordship's Confidential
despatch of 24 March forwarding a letter from W.A. Wells in
reference to the case of "Krog v. Franklyn" which was tried at
the Bristol Assizes in 1858.

2. Your Lordship desires me to obtain an explanation of the
case from Captain Franklyn on the subject. He had, however,
sailed for the Seychelles Islands before I received Your
Lordship's despatch.
