The task had to be completed by the 1st October 1825, when it was assumed that Lambert would be discharged (Supply 5/205 dated the 5th September, 1825). 2. WO54/550 dated the 1st October 1825, recorded that Henry was employed for three months as a Cooper making cement casks for Harwich, with pay of £54.12.0d per annum. This Return stated that he had been trained as a Cooper, and that he was a 24-year-old single man.
