My Lord Duke,
I have had the honor to receive Your Grace's despatch No. 56 of the 28th July, referring to a statement made by a Mr LowenbergthatManuscript image that he had been told that the Local Government would continue to dispute his title to Lot Z in the town of Victoria. Mr Lowenberg states that his informant was no less an authority than the Acting Colonial Secretary.
2. I enclose a report from Mr Young on the subject and would merely say that I had much rather take his word than that of Mr Lowenberg on any subject.

3. This case is one of thosepeculiarManuscript image peculiar to Vancouver Island which are handed down from one Governor to Another for settlement. However Mr Lowenberg was informed on the 1st October that the Colonial Government withdrew all claim to the Lot in question. Nothing more can be done. I presume that he is now satisfied.
I have the honor to be,
My Lord Duke,
Your Grace's most obedient
humble Servant
