I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majestys Treasury to
acquaint you, for the information of the
Duke of Newcastle, with
reference to your letter of the
30th ult, that My Lords have
selected
Mr Wm Andoe of the Audit Office to conduct the enquiry
into the Accounts of the Hudson's Bay Company, which appears to be
necessary previously to making any further payment to the Company in
respect of
their their claim in connexion with the resumption, by the
Crown, of
Vancouvers Island.
