Abstract
Correspondence (private letter). Minutes (2), Other documents (1).
Goring asks if he will he have “right and title to the land without the Sanction of the British Government” if he purchases land on Vancouver Island from the HBC.
The minutes answer “in the affirmative” as long as the purchase is made before 30 May 1859.
Enclosed is a draft from Carnarvon to Goring advising that his title to land purchase from the HBC would be valid without government sanction, provided that the purchase was made while they still held the grant to Vancouver Island.
