No. 100

I have the honor to transmit to you a copy of a letter from Mr.
Robert Holloway dated New Westminster, 30th of November, and to request
that you will furnish me with a report upon the allegations contained in
it.

You will also acquaint the Writer, by my desire, that established
rules require that representations to the Secretary of State should be
forwarded through the Governor, and that if he had taken this course I
should have been in a position by this time to give a decision on his
case but that as he has sent his letter direct without affording an
opportunity for the Governor to add any requisite explanation, it has
become necessary to refer his letter back to the Colony for report.
