Is not only the preservation of the Ammunition and Laboratory Stores, but, it may be said, the positive safety of all that quarter of the Colony and its inhabitants including the Artillery Barracks, The fit Magazine being early provided for the Gunpowder, I cannot omit this opportunity of suggesting to Your Lordship, that a new Magazine should be erected as early as possible.

My Lord,

Victoria 20th October 1843.

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of Your Lordship's letter, No 300 of yesterday's date and to express my most perfect concurrence in the propriety of the removal the public Firing near the Barracks at Chick Choo.

Had I known of it sooner, as I should have taken immediate steps to abate the nuisance, and I will have communication made to the Elders of the Town of Chick Choo prohibiting the erection of any similar building that can in any degree affect the Cantonment. The best precaution however, will perhaps be Your Lordship's directing the Commanding Officer to see that nothing of the kind is allowed, which order I will take care
