1846

I have the honour to inform

that in compliance with your

directions I have been to the Mint and

inspected the Treasure box which contains Lead in lieu of Sycee Silver, and am

decidedly of an opinion that the box never contained anything but Lead,

and was prepared and substituted for the box which actually did contain the Silver. I should

say

the box had never

been opened after the first time of nailing down until now at the Mint; judging from

Sir George Black Bar +

&

the appearance.
