intended, the Land Officer will now be requested to allow Mr. Fagan to select a spot of ground adjoining any of the present Cantonments either on this side of the Island, or at Chuck Choo, the limits of which are fully described in letters addressed to Major General Lord Saltoun on the 2nd and 4th of May last, on which he may erect a house on the express condition and understanding that the House alone shall be sold when Mr. Fagan quits this Colony, and that the site of it shall be the property of Government.

His Excellency regrets that it is out of his power to do more than what is now intimated to meet Mr. Fagan's applications.

I have &c.

(Signed) Richard Woosnam.

No. 128

To Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, C.B.

Victoria, Hongkong, December 13th 1843.

It has been reported to me that certain Repairs are in progress at the Naval Store houses and Coal Depot occupied by the temporary buildings in the centre of this City.

I presume this is being done under authority or at least with your concurrence and I therefore consider it proper to do myself the honor of officially intimating to you that I expect to receive in the course of a month or at most six weeks an answer from Her Majesty's Government to references which I made No. 128.
