of Moses Parr for a pension under the act of 7 June being informed that the first papers are lost and have the 
assurance from Mr Edwards that they shall have immediate attention. Mr Parr living something like 30 or 40 miles from Court came to Court on foot he was not able to procure the attendance of a Clergy man & two witnesses in court, but took the deposition of his witnesses before a Magistrate who did not understand
the requrements of the Department-- Though they are rather informal I hope the Department will look rather to the merits of the application, than to the informality. I suppose he has the depostion of two Credible witnesses that are on file in the Department on a former application in 1826. To which I beg leave to refer.

Sir  Enclosed is a certificate granted to Moses Parr, which I presume was made and forwarded through mistake. a Pension Certificate dated in March last was sent to me Mr Parr has drawn his money under it and as I suppose It is not the intention of the Department to allow him Two certificates.

Certificates in granted on each set of papers If the Department will allow him to draw on both certificate you will please for return the enclosed to me.
