No. 25

I transmit for your information a copy of a letter which I have
received from Mr J.M. Magee accompanied by several documents relative
to some property left by Bernard Rice who was shot at Fort Yale in
British Columbia, as detailed in your despatch No. 68 of the 8th of
January 1859, and I have to request that you will cause the necessary
enquiries to be instituted and report to me the result.
