REL
20 April, 1849.
Victoria, Hongkong,
I have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Lordship's Despatch 1985 of
the 14 January last, relative to a money order stated to be for 40 or 50 Rupees belonging
to the convict John Brennan, transported from Hongkong to Van Diemen's Land in 1844.
Having requested Major fane to afford
me the requisite explanation regarding this case, I beg to submit to your Lordship a Letter from that officer with its enclosures, from which it will be perceived that
whatever search has been made in the Records of Judicial, Civil, Military, no clue
can be obtained as to the final disposal of this money.
Right Honorable,
The Earl Grey,
I also beg to state that the burial fee
Major-General Commanding, requesting by direction of the Letter from the Major of Brigade
on the late Captain Ca (osta may
be remitted, as such a charge
for the interment of an Officer is unusual.
11th April, 1849.
