The
Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury have had before
them your letter of the
15 of June last enclosing copy of a
Despatch which His Grace the
Duke of Newcastle proposes to address to
Governor Douglas on the subject of the future constitutions of
Vancouver Island &
British Columbia, and respecting the Civil Lists
of the two Colonies, and Their Lordships desire me to state for His
Grace's information that They see no reason to object to the
provisions embodied in the Despatch respecting the Civil Lists of the
two Colonies in question.
