Shepherd to Labouchere

With reference to my letter of the 8th Instant, on the subject
of an attempt at murder by an Indian in Vancouver's Island, and the
steps adopted by Governor Douglas, in conjunction with Admiral Bruce, to
punish the culprit, I have now the honor to enclose for your information
an Extract of a letter from Governor Douglas, dated Victoria, Vancouvers Island, 6th September 1856, by which it appears that the expedition
had returned, after accomplishing their object without any casualty.
