No. 52

In obedience to the instructions conveyed in Your Grace's
despatch No. 16 of 2nd March 1868, I have the honor to
forward the Deed by which the Hudson's Bay Company reconveyed
Vancouver Island to the Crown.

I add copies of Minutes which have passed between the Colonial
Secretary and Attorney General on the subject.

3. I shall, as suggested by Your Grace, bring the matter before
the Legislative Council at its next Session.
