I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No: 648 of yesterday's date, accompanied by a letter from Captain Bruce of Her Majesty's 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment and other Papers connected with complaints against the Master, the "Lady Amherst."

Almost at the same moment your letter came to hand, I received an appeal from Mr. Queen - one of the owners of the Lady Amherst, who is now in this Colony - against Captain Bruce's proceedings.

I frequent that you will be pleased to order a Committee to investigate the matter, and I have informed Mr. Queen that this will be done.
