In-letters and orders received by the Navy Board

Mr Dummer, Assistant to the Surveyor of the Navy, has informed us that Thomas Love, Boatswain of the RUBY Hulk, and Humphrey Scott, Shipwright, a Quarter Man in Portsmouth Yard, did take extraordinary pains both night and day in the late work of weighing the ST DAVID, for which they deserve a reward.
We direct you to inform yourself from Mr Dummer of the extra service done by the two persons on this occasion, and report to this Board what sum of Money you judge fitting to be allowed to each of them.
