I have to state for the information of the Secretary of State for War, that I do not consider it desirable that the transfer should be proceeded with until the question as to the direction of the road being constructed by the Local Government in the vicinity of the magazine shall be decided.

In receipt of your letter of 28th April 1861 communicated to the Government the suggestion therein contained viz:- that the road should be carried at a height above the magazine. The Governor has not thought fit to reply to this communication.

The road may be carried either in that manner or below the magazine - I am inclined to think the latter preferable, but of course the road could not be recognized as a boundary road. I should here state that the flow accompanying the Inspector General's letter does not seem correct as to the line of road at the most important point. The road approaches much nearer to the rear or south side of the Victoria Barracks than shown in the blow - a correct tracing of the road is enclosed. I am not anxious to raise objections to the road itself - except in connection with the Magazine - but the present line in this portion of its length should be divested of the character of a boundary road.
