For the Raymonds Estate, Jamaica, ordered by Joseph Brooks Yates & Co. of Liverpool (engine HZ) and for an unspecified estate ordered by Boddington & Co. of London (engine IB). The drawings for Brooks Yates & Co. were made in May 1829, and re-used for Boddington & Co. in Apr. 1835. Henry Hazleton allocated separate portfolio numbers to the engines despite the fact that they did not have separate drawings; Brooks Yates's was Portfolio 1017 and Boddington's was Portfolio 1018.
The drawings for the Caswell Hill Estate, Vere, Jamaica were for an engine originally ordered for that estate by France Fletcher Yates & Co. [see Portfolio 5/948].
