I am nevertheless quite prepared to abolish it, though elevated after much labor, as I have said, from the region of experiment to that of successful Legislation. I only ask that I may receive precise orders, and that it be understood. I am carrying out a policy of which H.M's Government assumes the entire responsibility.

169. Finally I take the opportunity of expressing my regret that I have not had access to the really effective arguments of Mr. Anstey on the 9th February, when he is stated (not I hope by an Egotistical Reporter) to have shown from documentary and even official proofs, the entire inaccuracy of every one of the material statements of my reply to the Memorialists and the entire unsoundness of every one of its relevant objections to their case. As noticed above are some of the arguments of the class alluded to in that extract, I venture to make one more enclosure in this Despatch, viz. The reply in question, as being still unrefuted, and I hope still in some points worthy of attention.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble Servant,

Robert Graves MacDonnell

Governor
