At a Meeting of the Bombay Port Trust held on the 17th ultimo, a letter was read from the General Officer Commanding Bombay District, saying that the dispatch of the South African Contingent having been completed he wished to thank the Chairman for the cordial co-operation and valuable help extended to the Military authorities by the Trust; that nothing could have been more satisfactory than the way all the requirements of the Military Department were met, and he would particularly wish to thank Mr. P. G. Messent, C. E., Engineer, and Captain Hand, Superintendent of the Prince’s Dock, and to bring to notice the untiring and valuable work done by Messrs. Walker and Pinsent, to both of whom the greatest credit is due.
