No. 172

I have duly received your Despatches Nos 35 & 36 of the
21st and 22nd March referring to the disturbances at Ft
Yale and the suspension of Mr Perrier.

2. I have communicated to Colonel Moody your approval of the
course he adopted in proceeding to Fort Hope, with the party of
Royal Marines and Royal Engineers.

3. With reference to your observations respecting the
inaccuracy into which I had fallen, by designating Colonel Moody
the Lieutenant Governor, I will take care that your instructions
upon this point shall in future be duly attended to.
