It is a matter for regret that
more care was not taken in the selection of this Officer
in England though it is possible that Mr. Chadwick in
reporting to the Crown Agents on the 5th. March last may
have been deceived by Mr. Bowden, the Architect and
Surveyor at Smethwick, not having given him all the in-
-formation in his power.
No enquiry however seems to have
been made as to the character Held by Mr. Lofthouse in
his recent employment at Hereford and it would seem
necessary that in future cases such should invariably be
done as in this case it might have shown that the applicant
was
a most undesirable person to despatch to this Colony.

I presume that the Crown Agents
will take steps to recover passage money and advances made
to Mr. Lofthouse on his departure from England.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Amaz
Officer Administering the Govern-
-ment.
