Treasury commissioners will not make exception in case of Edward Enfield, who must accept position in reformed Mint or lose compensation for termination of Moneyers' contract.
Consider CT's official letter of 16 Apr. suspended. Fee will probably be abolished and H. W. Field's salary increased to £500. Received today's letter from JH with enclosure by H. D. Harness regarding conduct of Moneyers. Will forward these to Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood].
Treasury commissioners approved JH's appointments and retirement of J. M. Beckwith [see JH's 1851-4-14]. Give legal notice of contract termination immediately to G. F. G. Mathison. Henry Bingley's claim for compensation will not be considered until JH's evaluation of it is completed.
Decision by Chancellor of Exchequer [Charles Wood] regarding admissions to Coining rooms. Fee for assayer H. W. Field will now come from Mint accounts, not from Field personally.
