Victoria, and am to acquaint you His Excellency the Governor approves of the

You are requested to report specially
the circumstances under which Mr.
Burd gained possession of and built the site where his House and Godown now stands, as the Governor has
been given to understand that that location was originally reserved.
On
it appearing on further inquiry that Mr. Burd

any of them

are entitled to
remuneration (which must depend solely on the terms by which they came into possession) a Committee will be
appointed to decide what that remuneration shall be.
Mr. Burd and the present occupants of the "Upper Bazar" will be allowed six months, from the 18th of this
month to remove their houses and shouts.
