No. 150
26th November 1867
My Lord Duke,
With reference to Your Grace's despatch No. 36 of 15th
June 1867, I have now the honor to state that the question
respecting the leaseof
of certain land at Quatsino Sound has
been the subject of communication between the Acting Colonial
Secretary and Mr J.C. Stewart, the local agent of the English
Company and one of the parties pecuniarily interested in it.
Mr Stewart has reported the substance of those communications
to his principals in England. The Government have offered to
convey the land in fee, after survey upon payment ofthe
the purchase
money. Mr Stewart is quite satisfied and I presume his
correspondents in England will be so likewise.
