I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Mr Cardwell's Despatches named in the margin * having relation to the reconveyance of Vancouver Island by the Hudson's Bay Company to Her Majesty and matters connected therewith.

These Despatches with others bearing on the subject I submittedto to a Board of Officers consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Acting Attorney General, the Acting Surveyor General and the Registrar General, and I have now the honor to transmit herewith their report.

This report appears to me to have been conceived in a dispassionate spirit and I think the suggestions it contains as coming from persons who are dealing with matters within their own personal knowledge are worthy of serious consideration.

The

The Hudson's Bay Company I think it may reasonably be hoped will not offer opposition to these propositions in which the claims, real or supposed, of the Crown advanced by the Colony against the Company are brought within a narrow compass, and which will entail an inconsiderable pecuniary sacrifice upon the Company.

I abstain from commenting in detail upon this report which I think sufficiently exhaustiveof of the matters treated of, and as to which I shall probably be enabled at an early period to communicate with your Lordship in England if required to do so.

I have the honor to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient Servant A.E. Kennedy Governor
