That was in respect to a license to carry passengers in the waters of the Colony. On the 16th the Secretary of the Company came to me and asked for a survey to carry passengers outside the waters of the Colony. He called again on Tuesday the 19th, and I then told him for the first time that before he cou'd ply outside it would be necessary to provide the launch with sampins enough to carry all passengers, and two more life-buoys as well, He then said he would withdraw the application.
