With respect to Stone Cutters Island, Lord de Grey imagines that in the erection of a convict prison in that Locality arrangements may be made which would admit of the construction of a battery at the N.E. Point of Island should it ever be determined to establish one.
I have now to advert to certain points raised in your letter of the 21st March last.
1. As to submitting to a Military or Colonial Board designs for Colonial buildings which may be intended to be placed within the Barracks and near the sea.
On this point Lord de Grey concurs with the views of the Duke of Newcastle and thinks that it would be sufficient to enact that the buildings on the beach shall not be of a height sufficient to obstruct the breeze from the sea to the Barracks on the hill above, and that certain trades & occupations (to be specified by local authorities) likely to prove injurious to the health of the Troops should be prohibited.
2. As to compensation to Chinese occupants dispersed.
