proportionate incroachment of the Military Cantonment, was agreed to, and signed by the Surveyor General in July 1858, who in conjunction with Mr Molineux drew up valuation of Fletcher's Buildings, for the express purpose of handing the property over for sale to the War Department, a fact, which can be further proved, if necessary, by reference to Mr Pollard, Q.C., who acted professionally on that occasion.
Major General Strachan never interlined a wish to withhold any information on questions of this nature, from the Colonial Government, but he does feel surprised that, with all the above facts on record, it should be again urged that neither Mr. The Governor nor the Surveyor General had the least idea of any "definite plan for an extension of the Military Cantonment" having been "forwarded to the Department!" Even if it were admitted (which the Major General cannot do) that Colonel Moody's letter to the War Office in 1863, referred only in vague and general terms to the advantages of reclaiming land from the sea, there is certainly nothing vague.
