I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 20
of the
10th of March enclosing a copy of a letter from
Mr. Watson, the
Treasurer of
Vancouver Island complaining of the reduction of his
Salary.
I regret the inconvenience and loss to which
Mr. Watson has
been been
subjected through the recent proceedings of the House of Assembly, but
the Government has no means of providing a remedy.
