The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 80a

The Secretary of State for the Colonies to Governor Sir John Young

The Secretary of State for the Colonies to Governor Sir John Young.

Sir,

Downing-street,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch, No. 14, of the 16th of February last, enclosing a letter of remonstrance from your late Colonial Secretary, Mr. W. Forster, against the course which you took in refusing to appoint two additional Members to the Legislative Council on the recommendation of your responsible advisers. The reasons which you give for this refusal appear to me sound and convincing; and I am glad to perceive that Mr. Forster's proceedings have not met with the approval of his colleagues.

I have, &c. (signed)

Edward Cardwell
