"Value of 84 bottles mercury since used £76.18.7*.
This deduction was made under the
misapprehension that this mercury had been consumed.
I find however that the contents of these bottles was
simply poured into the proper receptacle in the apparatus
at the time of its erection and there it still remains.
This portion of the claim amounts therefore to £5,066.3.1
and not £4,989.4.4, as first given.
I have etc.,
(sa.) E. V. Brenan,
Ag. Commissioner of
Customs.
