5.1876                     The Chairman stated that among other work in hand at the Company’s Dockyard, two new engines which had been intended for steamboats were in a forward state, and could be completed in the shop at a further expenditure of about £70 and that the hull of the steamer Forward had been rebuilt and was now ready to receive one of the new engines and wished the Committee to consider what had better be done with these engines now that the Company will probably give up the carrying business on the 30^th June next.  The Committee directed that the engines be proceeded with and completed so as to be saleable or ready to be turned to account in any other way, but not to be fixed in the boats.
