On the other side I have the honor to annex an appraised inventory of the property of the late John Poulston (laborer) who died intestate on the 28:th Dec:r 1828. The trivial value of this property out of which his funeral expences and sundry claims have yet to be paid, will I suppose justify me in suggesting the non-interference of the Board upon this point I have to request instructions and for directions in the case there should be any surplus what to do with the same as there are no heirs in the Colony to this individual. I have the honor to be, sir Your obedient servant John Centlivres Chase, Ag:t Orph: Ch:r J:J:L: Smuts Esq:r, Sec:y Orph:n Cham:r
