Referring to a correspondence between this Department, the
Foreign Office, and the Governor of Vancouver's Island, on the
subject of the cost of the Buildings which have been erected
under the order of the latter, for the accommodation of the
North American Boundary Surveying Expedition, I am directed by
Major General Peel to request that you will move Secretary Sir E. Lytton to instruct Governor Douglas to take steps, so soon as
the Services in which Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins is employed
shall have been completed,
for disposing of the Buildings in
question to the best advantage, and remitting the proceeds to
this Country to be carried to the credit of the Foreign Office.
