Hamilton to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

With reference to your letter of the 14th Instant I am desired by the
Lords Commissoners of Her Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, for
the information of the Duke of Newcastle, that Their Lordships would
not object to the Passage Allowance of an Officer proceeding from
this Country to assume the Government of Vancouver's Island being
fixed at £800;

My Lords have, accordingly, directed the Pay Master General to issue
£800 to Captain A.E. Kennedy who has been appointed Governor of that
Colony.
