With reference to my Despatch No. 91 of the 15th of March last I
transmit to you herewith the Queen's Warrant for the appointment of Mr. Alexander Watson to be Treasurer for the Island of Vancouver in the

The Colonial Agents General have been instructed to pay to Mr.
Gordon Gairdner the Chief Clerk of my Office the sum of 1.10.0 being

Mr. Alexander Watson to repay this amount into the Colonial Treasury.
