sir,

In reply to your despatch No.258 of the 27th.

July, I have the honour to inform you that the reason Mr. Baker's

pension paper was not forwarded to England was that a Clerk

in the Colonial Secretary's Office inadvertently filed the

papers connected with the matter before they had been finally

dealt with.

The mistake is regretted, and the pension paper

is now forwarded herewith.

I have the honour to be,
