Does not yet have word from government regarding claims for compensation made by Company of Moneyers.
Moneyers are extremely anxious. Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood] announced in Apr. 1850 that government would abolish Company of Moneyers, whose contract terminated on 13 May. But still there is no arrangement for compensation.
Thanks for JH's assurance that arrangements for Moneyers' compensation will soon be made. Hopes that government will be liberal.
