MAURICE DUKE, United States Consul to T. B. Rennell, October 1, 1874

[Inclosure 6 in No. 69.]

Mr. Knight to Mr. Rennell.

Sir: Mr. Pilot Haliday, an American citizen, has produced me a certified copy of your dispatch of the 30th ultimo, addressed to G. C. Richards, manager of the pilot company, and I now beg to inform you that by virtue of his right, as given in General Regulation VII of the pilotage regulations for this port, Haliday has this day made formal appeal to me, his consul, against your decision as given therein.

To enable me to give a decision in this appellate case, will you be good enough to furnish me with your charges against the appellant, and your reasons for (withholding his license) suspending him from his office of pilot.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,

FRANCIS P. KNIGHT,
U. S. Consul.

T. B. Rennell, Esq., Harbor-Master.
