Abstract
Carnarvon, Earl to Seymour, Governor Frederick 1 March 1867, NAC :, 76.
Despatch from London.
No. 17
1 March 1867
Sir,
My attention has been directed to the Schedule of your despatches
transmitted to me by the Mail which left British Columbia on the 12th of
January. This schedule has not been prepared in the form required by
the Colonial Regulations. Instead of each despatch being specified by
its number, date, number of enclosures and subject, as required by clause
165, there is merely the announcement that "No. 4 of the 21st of
December to No. 25 of the 11th of January" are transmitted.
The despatches themselves moreover are not docketed in accordance
with clause 160.
I
I request that you will instruct the proper Officer to attend for
the future to the directions given in the two clauses Nos. 160 and 165
as to the proper manner in which despatches are to be transmitted to
this Office.
