of Letter No. 91 of 8th June 1842, from Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart, to A.R. Johnston, Esq.

In the Instructions to the Land and Road Superintendents, which have been partly published for general information, you will see that no further Grants of Land are to be made on any account, and should any applications be preferred to you, you will be pleased to distinctly decline acquiescence with them, quoting the notifications referred to us your reason for the refusal.

You will however feel yourself at full liberty, to assign locations for any new Public Buildings, which it is probable will be found necessary for the accommodation of the Troops, and the large, and unexpected, influx of European Inhabitants.
