No. 41
22nd August 1865
Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 39 of the 15th of June in which you report that Mr. William Culverwell, Official Assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy, has absconded from Vancouver Island, leaving many debts unprovided for.

It does not appear from your despatch, who is responsible for Mr. Culverwell's appointment, but I perceive that by an Act of 1st February 1862, the appointment is vested in the Chief Justice, and I cannot but view with great regret this scandal following upon a similar event in another Department under the control of the Supreme Court.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant
Edward Cardwell
