Lennox states that the Admiralty approves of Hastings’s response to Seymour’s request for support during the disturbance in the Cariboo and encloses instructions given to admirals in British Columbia regarding how to support colonial officials in times of need. Robinson’s minute suggests forwarding Lennox’s despatch to Seymour.

28th Oct 1867 Sir,

I have laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your Letter of the 22nd Inst with its enclosures from the Governor of Columbia, respecting disturbances between Rival Claimants of a Mining Property in the district of Cariboo on the Upper Fraser River, nearly 500 Miles distant from the Seat of Government at New Westminster.

With reference to the complaint made by the Governor that Rear Admiral Hastings had declined to detach any Force from the Ships under his Ordersat at Esquimalt for a place so remote as Cariboo, their Lordships desire me to state for the information of His Grace The Duke of Buckingham and Chandos that they approve of the conduct of the Admiral in this matter, and I enclose a Copy of the Instructions given in 1864 to his Predecessor in the Naval Command in the Pacific not to detach Officers and Men to a distance from their Ships, but to limit his co-operation to such measures as could be executed by the Vessels or by their Boats acting in their immediate vicinity.

I am Sir, Your obedient servant Henry G. Lennox
Mr Elliot Forward copy of this to GovrGovernor Seymour for his information & guidance, & with reference to GovrGovernor No 93 of the 16 Augt. WR 31 Oct 67
Sir F. Rogers We know from private sources that GovrGovernor Semour has got on without Marines. It certainly would have been a very distant expedition from their ships.

Transmit as proposed?
