description As a Municipal Magistrate not able to provide information regarding Mons[ieur] le C[omp]t[e] [Agenor] de Gasparin without authorisation from the Director of the Interior. However, expresses his private opinion of the 'unfortunate position' of the Protestants of the French part of the island. An injustice to the Protestants that they are not allowed a minister but to not allow a dying woman the ministrations of a Wesleyan Methodist minister can only be 'universally ridiculed'. Should stress to the minister of the Colonies that these actions are 'entirely exceptional' and the result of the conduct of only half-a-dozen gentlemen and not the 'expression of the public sentiment'. Original was dated 27 July 1846.
