No 259.

My dear Sir,

(Copy.

246

the

Victoria, August 27, 1844.

In reply to your letter of the

24th instant, containing a request from

the members of the Committee, that the

building of the Church should be superintended by Government, the Governor adheres to the answer I communicated to

you verbally; namely, that he does not

consider it an act of justice

towards Mr. Pope to call upon him to execute it as a Government work. Of course, a certain

superintendence would be exercised on

the part of the Government as a principal subscriber, but it will not be of such a nature as to dispense with the employment of an architect to prepare the working plans, specification, &c., and direct

Reverend Vincent, Staunton.
