979, CO 305/1, p. 169; received 18 May 979 N America Wedny 17 May Dear Sir,

I have communicated with the Authorities at Hudsons Bay House, & they think that it will answer the purpose if the proposed Grant be confined to the Cession to the CCompany of Vancouver's Island, without touching the Question of Jurisdiction, & they can then afterwards apply to the GovtGovernment to appoint some of their officers to be Justices, & Company to grant also a Commission of oyer & terminer under the provisions of the Act of 43 Geo 3d. I believe it is intended under any Circumstance to adopt this course in reference to the portion of the Oregon territory which is not to be granted to the CCompany.

I am Dear Sir Yours faithfully Joseph Maynard Herman Merivale Esq.
Printed copy, 1 and 2, George IV, Cap LXVI, "An Act for regulating the Fur Trade, and establishing a Criminal and Civil Jurisdiction within certain Parts of North America," 2 July 1821.
