Content DescriptionThanks Boringdon for his account of the state of Devon [see Pl C 52/133]; believes that the present restoration of order is due to the efforts of Boringdon and the other 'principal persons of property' in the county; thanks Boringdon for his observations on the dockmen, as the state of men in another dock has previously been a concern to government; regrets that the men of Plymouth call as loudly for reform as the men in this other dock; explains that he would like to acquaint Lord St Vincent with Boringdon's opinions and observations, as the regulations to deal with the matter will have to go through the naval department; mentions the excellent service of Colonel Bastard in the recent disturbances, and asks Boringdon to pass these compliments on.
