Abstract
Despatch from London.
No. 8

Sir,
My attention has been again directed to the subject of the charges
preferred by Mr. E.E. Langford in the letters which formed enclosures to
my despatches of the 2nd and 19th of June last, and I regret to be
compelled to express my surprise that, being in receipt of these
communications which bring in question notonly
only the conduct of certain
public Officers in Vancouver Island but your own, you should have
contented yourself with furnishing such a casual and incomplete reply as
that contained in your Despatch of the 23rd of August last, and have
allowed the matter to rest from that date to the present time.
