which was resumed by the Government

in 1867 and has been left 15 years undisturbed, will now be used for

building purposes.

Although it was understood, at

the time when another piece of ground

was given in exchange, and a sum of

money contributed by the government

towards its preparation for a Cemetery,

that all tombs should be removed; it

appears that there are 15

tombs still on the ground.

I am therefore to inquire whether

it is the intention

of

the Mahomedan

Community to remove the tombs, in

which case I am to request that it may

be done at once, before the ground is

levelled.

(54)

I have &c.

Frederick Stewart

Acting Colonial Secretary.
