Reference despatch- 5
G— 44 dated. 19th MayH
After Lt-Colonel Cox had refused to permit the shinijient

in despatch ho. 44 dated 1.0th ultimo, Meggrs 'Vonchhaus, Lingah
reported to me, before receiving my enquiry on whose account the

question of some 400 to 500 tons of oxide which has already been
mined and now onxy requires to be broken up and conveyed to the
shore. ( That IM breaking up and transport to shore do not er~
elude the "readiness for shipment" 1 have already had the honour
