I am commanded by My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint
you, for the information of His Grace the
Duke of Newcastle, that a
Letter has been received from
Rear Admiral Kingcome, dated
11th August, at
Esquimalt, N
o 99, reporting that, as it appeared on the trial of the Lamalcha Indians, that all
the principals concerned in
the Murder of the Settler
Marks Marks, and his daughter, were amongst those
captured, the Governor had not considered it necessary to continue
the Search and that the expedition against that Tribe, therefore, had
not been undertaken.
