Reclamation Ordinance and
regulated in Ordinance No 7
I am at a loss to conjecture what relief
can be granted beyond the sum for compensation arrived at under the latter Ordinance
of 1893,
and I therefore beg to recommend to Your Lordship that the petition be refused. I attach extracts from
the Report of the Special Engineer on the subject for Your Lordship's perusal. I am advised
that the legal opinion he has volunteered is not altogether correct, but the
extracts are submitted in confirmation of the facts summarised in this despatch.
Encl: V
16th July 1894.
I have the honour to be, My Lord Marquess, Your Lordship's most Obedient
Humble servant.
