Lampson to Sandford (Assistant Under-Secretary)

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Letter of
the 14th Inst. transmitting an Extract of a despatch from the
Governor of British Columbia, and a Copy of a report by Mr
Young the Acting Colonial Secretary in reply to Mr Lowenberg's
statement—that the local Government would continue to dispute
his title to a piece of land in Victoria known as lot Z.

In requesting you will convey to Earl Granville the thanks of
the Committee of the Hudson's Bay Company for these
communications, I have to express their satisfaction to find that
the matter in dispute, which involved much Correspondence, has
been finally settled.
