N. 83-

2 Inclosures.

& Military Stores from the local Government in reference to the Proclamation of the 28th February last prohibiting the exportation notice the position of the Colony.

The sale of arms to persons moving about in junks is intimate enough - if it is mixed up with something else.

I am inclined to say that their Bench has printed a mitigation if possible, but that it is one of those incidents to such a trade.

Great doubts are not thrown aside by its convenience

And this is a case of the kind
