No. 56

With reference to the correspondence noted in the margin

*

I transmit to you, for your report, a Copy of a letter which has been
addressed to me by the Chairman of the Hudsons Bay Company enclosing
Copies of correspondence on the subject of Mr. Lowenberg's title to a
lot of land in the Town of Victoria known as "Lot Z."

I take for granted that Mr. Lowenberg's statements of what passed
between him and Mr. Young, the Acting Colonial Secretary result from
some misunderstanding as after the correspondence which has passed on
the subject of this lot of land I can hardly suppose that an Officer of
the Colonial Government should have told Mr. Lowenberg that his title to
lot Z would be disputed by the Government.

I enclose a Copy of the answer which I have caused to be returned
to the Chairman of the Hudsons Bay Company.
