Hamilton to Rogers (Permanent Under-Secretary)

I am directed by the Lords Commissioners of Her Majestys Treasury to
acquaint you, for the information of the Duke of Newcastle, with
reference to your letter of the 30th ult, that My Lords have
selected Mr Wm Andoe of the Audit Office to conduct the enquiry
into the Accounts of the Hudson's Bay Company, which appears to be
necessary previously to making any further payment to the Company in
respect of their claim in connexion with the resumption, by the
Crown, of Vancouvers Island.

Mr Andoe has been directed to place himself at once in communication
with the Colonial Office.
