Sir,

In reference to the enclosed notice
to deliver Opium to Gilman
& Co taken out of the Store - Ship
Tropic and to all other notices of a
similar kind which
you may
receive it appears to me that
strictly you cannot detain property
in the hands of

the property of the Claimant.
W. Quin, Esqre
Captain Superintendent of Police.
