At the same time I have informed him that I am not prepared to recommend any further indulgence in his case, and I may add that I am greatly induced to recommend Your Grace's approval of his acceptance of a share in the management of the Union Dock Company, because on grounds of Public Policy it is extremely desirable that the half completed Docks of that Company at the other side of the harbour should be early finished.

I have the honor to be, My Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient humble servant, Francis MacDonnell Governor
