The Under Secretary of State,

Sir,

Cowes,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter No. 25299/1904, under date 28th July, written by Mr. H. Bertram Cox by direction of Mr. Secretary Lyttelton,

informing me that the decision given by the Governor as arbitrator in the matter of compensation for our Marine Lot No. 184 must conclude the matter.

To conclude the matter before compensation has been properly ascertained and paid, and to refuse my request to have it ascertained upon the principle laid down by Her late Majesty's Government in 1857, which principle is in accord with that of the Imperial Legislature of the present day, is not what I expected from the representative of His Majesty, the fountain of justice.

A. Crippa, K.C. has said that on the admitted facts, the Chief Justice should have set aside the Award.

The decision now under consideration has been arrived at under like conditions as the first, without hearing us,
