4. From the correspondence in this office and the observations of the Commanding Royal Engineer above referred to, it certainly appears that their interests have not hitherto been fully or adequately protected, nor are they likely to be so, unless further conditions are made with the Colonial Government.

5. Whilst all the points of consideration, raised in the Commanding Royal Engineer's observations are of importance, it is difficult to attach the most essential; but I am of opinion that the safety of the New Magazine, provisions for a Rifle Range, are the most requiring consideration.
