No. 64.
Downing Street,
18th October, 1849.

Sir,

I have received your despatch No. 39, of the 27th of March last, transmitting copies of three Proclamations of the dates specified in the margin, which you had issued for the purpose of regulating the depasturing of cattle on the Waste Lands of the Crown, in the Province of New Ulster.

2. I quite concur in the expediency of this measure, and I attach great importance to the effects which it may produce. I especially approve of the manner in which you have introduced into one of these proclamations the principle of elective management of Crown Lands, and I trust that it may tend eventually to all the benefits which you have so clearly pointed out as likely to attend that arrangement.

I have, &c., &c.,

(Signed) GREY.

To Governor Sir George Grey, &c., &c.
