the disposal of a certain area of land around Long Harbour,
Mirs Bay;

Secretary of State for the Colonies, that although no assurance has been given on this point, they assume that no
part of the area in question will be alienated by the
Colonial Government without first consulting the Admiralty.

course will be adopted.
The
Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
