sir,
I have the honour to inform you that I have
carefully considered the question of compensating the parents
of the late Constable R. Miller, which was referred to me in
your despatch No.273 of the 17th October last, and I have
decided that as an act of grace a sum of £50 should be paid to the father of the deceased. I should be glad if the Crown Agents for the Colonies could be instructed accordingly.
2.
The pistols of the Police are examined monthly and no defect was found on the last inspection of the pistol
in question prior to the accident.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Amag
Governor,&c.

LEWIS HARCOURT, M.P.,
