I informed him that I would be averse to abstain from the ultimate step of communicating to Her Majesty's Minister or Her Majesty's Government on the subject until all hope of a satisfactory settlement has ended, and, although there has been great delay, I have every expectation that satisfaction will shortly be given. The arrangements now making for a commission under the Agreement will, in all probability, correct the abuses of which His Excellency the Governor complains.
