Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Circular dated
23rd November 1865 on the subject of insuring stores which may be
shipped by the Crown Agents for the use of this Government and to
state in reply that having consulted with my ExecutiveCouncil
Council I
concur with them in the opinion that it would not be expedient to
discontinue the practise as regards this Colony.

The great length and duration of voyages from England to this Colony
taken in connection with frequent losses render the case of Vancouver
Island an exception to most of the other Colonial Dependencies in
this respect.
