I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No.
               107 of the 
12th of September enclosing a letter addressed to me by 
Mr.
                  W.H. Newton, claiming compensation for the loss he has sustained by
               being deprived of certain land which has been included in the Indian
Reserve
               Reserve.
               
               I have to request that you will acquaint 
Mr. Newton that I have
               considered the circumstances of the case, and do not find reason to
               interfere with the conclusion of the Colonial Government that he is not
               entitled to compensation for the land.
