This is a letter from Robert Brown, assistant manager at the National Marginal Company in Leith, Scotland. He is writing to the Under-Secretary Matthew Nathan (1862-1939), Nathan was the under-secretary for Ireland from 1914 to 1916. In 1916 Nathan offered his resignation following the outbreak of the Easter Rising. Before the war British households tended to put butter on the table, and reserve margarine for cooking purposes. But because during the War rations for margarine were more generous than for butter, margarine worked its way out of the kitchen and into the dining room. In this letter, Brown discusses the case of Henry McCambley, who was accused of fraud, stated that he has yet to be fully compensated for his attendance of the trail. He goes on to state that he was surprised at his treatment by officials regarding the case, namely John. Moorhead (1859-1936) the Crown Solicitor for Belfast and Robert Dunlop, the District Inspector for the Commissioner of the R.I.C. Belfast. Brown encloses a letter from Moorhead which Brown claims is disrespectful.

 THE NATIONAL MARGARINE COMPANY LIMITED 10 QUALITY STREET LEITH 19th June 1916 To The Under Secretary, The Castle, Dublin. Dear Sir, With reference to my letter of 17th inst. I beg to enclose letter together with cheque received to-day from John R Moorhead, Crown Solicitor, Belfast. It will be apparent to you that Mr. Moorhead has replied to my enquiry in a most disrespectful manner and I must protest against such treatment. The cheque enclosed has been made out on the basis of a cert- ificate granted without the slightest consideration being given to 'out-of-pocket' expenses necessarily incurred to enable me to attend the assizes. Seeing that I mistakenly rendered my claim to Robt. Dunlop, Commissi-oners office.R.I.C. Belfast he might have had the courtesy to inform me that the claim had been sent to the wrong person. I trust you will now give orders for payment of my claim, Yours truly, Rob Brown COUNTIES OF ANTRIM AND BELFAST Crown Solicitors Office, 30 Rosemary Street, Belfast 20th January 1916 The king v McCambley Inspector General R.I.C. Full report please With reference to A in the Brown Solicitor Report please state how mr. Brown traveling expenses to the assigns have been dealt with Also please attach the papers relative to the claim of this witness in respect of attendance in Belfast petty sessions 24-1-16 Commt Please report on the point referred to in first paragraph of above minute 25-1-1916 J. I. Taylor Esq., Chief Secretary's Office, The Castle, Dublin. Dear Sir, Relative to attached communication from Robert Brown, Assistant Manager of the National Margarine Co. Ltd., I beg to report that this claimant is without exception the most cantankerous, truculent, insolent and troublesome witness it has been my experience to come across. He described himself as the assistant manager of this Margarine Company which purports to have a number of branches in important English and Scotch towns. So far as I have been able to learn the only place where the company has any substantial existence is at Leith and some business appears to have been done by them in foreign margar- ine The claimant makes a virtue of assisting the Police. the boot is really on the other leg. the Company had an agent or Canvasser in Belfast named McCambley whose office was apparent- ly the only 'warehouse' they had here. McCambley was dishonest; embezzled small sums collected for the company amounting to about £20, and also converted some stock of margarine (value for a somewhat similar amount) to his own use. The Company have really been getting the benefit of the criminal law to collect this money from McCambley who pleaded guilty and whose brother (a school teacher) has paid into court by way of restitution ywo sums of £10 and £5 respectively and is to pay a further sum of £6 before the March Assizes. in all £20 It will therefore be for you to consider whether or not a portion of this restitution should not be appropriated towards the cost of the prosecution. The Claimant Brown from the very start gave the police a lot of trouble about his expenses and constantly threatened to leave. The Police in the case warned me that I should have trouble with him over his expenses. When I came to make out my certificate I was informed that all his travelling expenses had been paid by the police. In connection with the preliminary stage of this prosecution he was paid, in pursuance of your minute, by my cheque of the 2nd December 1915 £2. 10. 0 for two days and three nights attending Petty Sessions. At the Assizes I ascertained from the Police that he was detained six days and six nights. Four of the days and four of the nights were for actual attendance at the Assize and two of the days and two of the nights travelling to and from the Assize by rail and boat. I considered htat he was entitled to allowance for the two days travelling as well as for the 4 days in attendance at Assize and I calculated these six days at 10/- per day, namely, £3. Of the six nights, two being spent on the boat, the cost of his accomodation was already included and paid for in the travelling expenses paid by the police. I considered him therefore entitled only to f our nights hotel expenses and estimated this at 6/- per night, the two figures, £3, and £1.4.0 being accordingly the amount of my certificate. I had some hesitation in allowing the 10/- per day; I thought it was the limit, and I thought the 6/- per night amply sufficient. Being warned by the Police while the witness was in attendance at the Assizes that he was a most troublesome man and was constantly talking about his expenses asking for money and threatening to leave; at the request of the Police I went down to the hall of the court and saw him and told him that if he left he would have to take the consequences. He was grumbling that he had no money and wanting an advance towards his expenses. I told him I had no power to make any advance and that at the close of the case I could only make up my certificate upon which the Clerk of the Crown would issue a chegue for him for the proper amount. I knew from his talk about his loss of time that he would be dis- satisfied with any reasonable amount and I explained to him that I was bound by Treasury Regulations which, if I exceeded, I was liable to be personally surcharged and that when he got his cheque if he were dissatisfied with the amount of his cheque when he got it his only remedy was to lodge his claim with the Under Secretary, The Castle, Dublin, explaining that in after my certificate was issued I should have no further control over the matter . Notwithstanding this, on the 8th inst. he wrote me enclosing the Clerk of the Crown's cheque stating that he' did not know what it was for.' On the 10th inst I replied returning him the cheque, stating that it was the Clerk of the Crown's cheque for the witnesses expenses issued in pursuance of my certificate, and reminding him that I had personally explained to him that if dissatisfied with the amount his proper remedy was to make a complaint to the Under Secretary, and also reminding him that I had told him I was bound by Treasury Regulations. On the 12th January he again wrote me expressing 'surprise' that the cheque was for him and asking to be informed what the amount represented and stating that he intended to apply to the Under Secretary as soon as he had learned what the item or items were that I had refused to pay for his expenses. In this letter he further states that he estimates the 'loss of business profits' through being away from the business at not less than £12 but that he had claimed a' modified fee' of £8.8.0 which would leave him considerably out of pocket. I had never seen the claim referred to but that letter showed me the futility of attempting to satisfy him by correspondence and as he had intimated his intention of forwarding his claim to you I decided not to discuss the matter with him. Accordingly I merely acknowledge receipt of his letter and returned him his cheque limiting myself to again pointing out that if he was dissatisfied his proper course was to apply to the Under Secretary. To my letter of the 15th (consisting of a single sentence as above) he replied on the 17th by what I considered a truculent and insolent letter beginning with the words 'We are in receipt of your favour of the 15th and I am surprised at your inept remarks '. Seeing that I had made no remarks of any kind, inept or otherwise,but merely referred him to the Under Secretary,I considered his letter and his lecture insolent. With it he again enclosed me the cheque which I again returned to him by letter dated 18th inst intimating that if he forwarded the cheque to me again I should not take the trouble to send it back, calling his attention to the wording of the cheque itself, and intimating that it was intended to cover six days' allowance to a person *in poor circumstances* 'pursuant to the Statute', and also his hotel expenses while attending the Assize. I have never seen this man's claim for £10.10.11 'loss of business profits'. Apparently whatever this figure refers to must be not the witness's loss but the limited Company's loss of his services with which I had nothing to do. I considered the amount certified for the witness (10/- per day in addition to £1.4.0 for the 4 nights) the full amount that this witness is entitled to and I again direct attention to the fact that £14 by way of restitution to this Company has been paid in since the trial by the friends of the accused and other £5 is promised,no fraction of which could be recovered apart from the prosecution, so that the Company will have more than recouped their 'loss of profits' This witness gave both to me and the Police more trouble than all the other witnesses at the Assizes put together. I am, Yours faithfully, John R Moorheed Crown Solicitor. 10 Quality Street, Leith, Edinburgh Letter from Robert Brown to Matthew Nathan, 19 January 1916 Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland Letter from Thomas Gerrard to Augustine Birrell, 29 March 1916Letter from James P.
