Naas to Merivale (Permanent Under-Secretary)

Referring to your letter of the 8th instant,
relative to sending out a party of the Irish Constabulary Force
to British Columbia, I beg to transmit for the information of
Secretary Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Copy of a report which has
been received from the Inspector General of Constabulary upon the
above subject; and I am to request that the information required
by Sir Henry Browning may be afforded, in order that he may be
enabled to furnish a definite reply to your communication.
