Mr. Macandrew, to the Colonial Secretary.
Sir,—
I have the honour to enclose herewith, copy of an application by Mr. John Bullock, for a lease of a portion of Stewart's Island, and my reply thereto.
As the applicant details so fully what lie proposes to do, it is unnecessary for me to point out the advantages this Province would derive from much an undertaking. I therefore beg to leave the matter in your hands, strongly recommending it to your favourable consideration.
