did so to Mr Moorsom, the then Surveyor General and that, having Government Inspector of Buildings in the Survey Department, received orders to carry out Colonel de Butts' instructions in the matter. I caused a square granite boundary post to be erected on the spot as instructed, which Colonel De Butts further ordered should be chiselled with the letters and numbers W.D.A.4.1., which was also done, and that having reported the completion of this to Mr. Moorsom, Colonel De Butts approved of the position of the stone and of the marks cut on it; that it was on -day duly registered by myself in red ink in the place shown on the point marked X on the same plan which I saw yesterday at the Land Office.

And that upon the Survey Department having received possession, I proceeded to mark out on the ground the proposed new road which was to form the remainder of the boundary, that the line surveyed by me under Mr. Moorsom's superintendence was as near as possible the same line as shewn in the plan of cession, which I have myself seen repeatedly and which is subscribed to by the Governor and military Authorities.
