Colonial Secretarys [sic] Office, Brisbane, 12^th February, 1861.

Sir

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt, this day, of your letter of the 11^th Inst., reporting an aggression by the Blacks camped at Coochin, and requesting prompt assistance to prevent probably very serious consequences. Immediately on receipt of your letter I wrote to the Police Magistrate at Ipswich directing him to dispatch all the Mounted Men of his constabulary to disperse the blacks and yield protection to the residents at Coochin - Since then Lieutenant Wheeler has arived from the Logan and he has received instructions to proceed without delay to Coochin. - He will be there tomorrow evening. -

I have &c

(Sgd) A. W. Manning. -

Jno. Hardie Esqr.
