With reference to the Viceroy's messenger, release him. He has committed no offence. You were quite right to prevent the posting of notices. Those, if any, posted in Castle Peak District should be removed. The Attorney General has prepared the draft of an Ordinance giving to any Magistrate or Justice of the Peace power on information laid to summon before him any person and after hearing evidence to order him to find sureties to be of the peace and good behaviour for a given term or in default to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding six months.

I fancy that you are a J. P. either by commission or in virtue of your office. If not, I shall gazette you and antedate your commission.

I agree with you that a fair rent should be paid for the house occupied by the Police. I am glad to learn that you find matters settling down. If the Chinese doctor has returned, he might be found useful. There must be many wounded men in the hill villages requiring medical assistance.

I regret very much to hear of the serious injury to Major Watson R. A. M. C., by an attack by a buffalo. It may be necessary to make some regulation later on to prevent similar accidents now that Europeans will be travelling through the territory.
