of the £700 which His Lordship states has been voted by the Governmentof

British Columbia towards female Emigration to the Colony.
of
British Columbia towards female Emigration to the Colony.
There is sufficient evidence in the Report enclosed by the Bishop
to warrant me in allowing the Crown Agents to comply with his request,

expressed in the Acting Colonial Secretary's letter of the 21st June.
I have accordingly issued the necessary instructions, but I have to
observe that both delay and correspondence would have been savedif the
if the
matter had been properly reported to this Department.
