To Caine
In consequence of your verbal representations to me a letter was on the 23rd instant addressed from this Office to the Honorable the Attorney General on the subject of the careless and unsatisfactory construction of their houses by the Careless lessees of Crown lands in this Colony.
Mr. Anstey in his reply states his opinion that no Summary remedy exists and that it is not in the power of either the Police or the Surveyor General to pull down houses improperly built.
Mr. Anstey further says that if you will hand him suitable assistance in the way of practical suggestion he will undertake to prepare draft of the required building Ordinance before the next meeting of the Legislative Council.
His Excellency the Governor therefore desires that you will put yourself at once in communication with the Attorney General and confer with him on this important matter.
I enclose for your satisfaction, the Attorney General's letter which I shall be obliged by your returning to me.
I have, &c.
