2 September 1858 Sir,

From information which has just reached me from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in a report sent by Captain Richards. Report sent by Captain Richards Check 8616, 8646, 8647, or 8800, CO 6/25. GET ?? Richards, Capt. George H. it would seem desirable to appoint if you have not already done so Gold Commissioners armed with the powers of Magistrates. I submit Gold commissionersappointment of recommended this suggestion to your local experience, and I feel that it must be unnecessary to add the self-evident caution to form at once, a Police at the Diggings.

You will long, ere this, have received instructions not to close Frazer's River nor arrogate for the Hudson's Bay Company HudsonsBayCompany exclusiverightsof priviliges of exclusion, which they did not really possess and which will no longer be subjected to the misunderstanding which I regret to have observed.

I have etc. E.B. Lytton
