The Colector of Customs at Caernarvon wasnts an increase in his salary (2142-3). 2155 refers to the "melencholy catastrophe" caused by the upsetting of a ferry boat in the Straits, and suggests that the Marquess would do well to introduce a Bill in the House with a view to minimising such disasters in future.
