In proposing to release certain American goods procurator general informs me order will be made: “On payment of any sum which may be due in respect of freight.” As goods are not landed at ports to which originally consigned, payment of freight to London necessarily adds to shippers’ losses. Does Department desire me to urge release of neutral goods free of all charges?
