Abstract
Wodehouse, John to Musgrave, Anthony 21 January 1871, NAC RG7:G8C/18, 8.
Despatch from London.
No. 4
21 January 1871
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No.
158 [153] of the 7th December, in which you state that you agree with
Mr. Phillippo, and the other Gentlemen who reported upon this subject in
thinking that it is undesirable at the present time to re-open the
question of Land Registration in British Columbia.
This being the case,
I will not further press the amendment of the
Land Registry Act of 1870, recommended by me in my Despatch No. 18 of
the 5th September last although I see no reason to doubt that
compensation clauses should be introduced into a measure of this nature.
