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.
