In reply to your letter of the 25th Instant, I am directed by His Excellency the Governor to inform you, that the claim you prefer to further remuneration, on subject of a damage, cannot be taken into consideration.
You were informed by my letter of the 10th of January last, that in granting you a licence to erect a Bazar, Government had no intention of incurring any such expense, and looking to the Report of the Commanding Officer, you were most liberally compensated.
On furnishing a certified statement of the expense you actually incurred on the Market Place, resumed by Government, a Committee will be ordered to examine and report upon it, and its value will be hereafter paid either to you or your agents, should the decision of Her Majesty's Government be in your favour.
