that island without the permission of the Col. Sec. or but the Ordce gave the Gov. power by proclamation to exempt any portion or portions of the island from the Ordce, this indicating that it was hardly then contemplated to hand over the whole island absolutely to the War Dept.
When therefore the Gov. in his despatch of 8 March 1892, referred to Stonecutters I. military reserve, he was presumably referring to the limited control possessed and exercised by the War Dept. over the island by Ordce. 11 of 89. It cannot fairly be argued that the Gov. intended to recognise that the whole island was Col. Mily land defined by the subsequent circular of 30 Dec 94, viz, land over which the War Dept has a right of perpetual user for purposes of defence, since the island was so handed over to the WO, a part of the island has long been occupied by a Colonial gunpowder dépôt, the site of which the WO has now agreed may be used for building a prison, subject to certain conditions (WO, B/S, 26.5.03).
In 1890 the WO asked for removal of the lazaretto for providing quarters for troops (WO, E/S, 11.8.90). The building was handed over to the War Dept on payment of the original cost of the building; but no record can be traced as to the area of the land supposed to have been handed over to WO, but a tracing received from the Colony in connection with the proposed prison on Stonecutter's I. remarks...
