Description

George Elliot. Mr. Cock claims he has not been paid in full for the work he did on the Dartmouth frigate. No further monies are due. He offered to complete the vessel at an unacceptable price. Draws attention to a contract signed by him for a lump sum payment, excluding demands for extras, other than fitting for sea. Cock has failed to complete the ship and others have contracted to launch her by August 1831. A statement of account shows payments made to contractors Messrs. Harris Langhorn and Harris, and Cock's claim for an extra payment is refuted.
