EXTRACTS FROM DESPATCH No. 41.
Dated Downing-street, 10th February, 1847.
"The series of your despatches, which I enume-
rate in the margin, exhibit so clearly the inju-
rious tendency of those measures, and the neces-
sity of resorting to some prompt and effectual
remedy, that I think it needless to enlarge on
those topics. My immediate purpose is rather
to satisfy to the utmost of my power, the demand
which you make for the support and assistance of
Her Majesty's Government, in arresting the pro-
gress of the danger which you anticipate from
Governor Fitzroy's decision on this subject.
The steps taken by yourself with this view,
appear to me to have been judicious. I approve
of your determination to allow all claimants un-
der the proclamations of the 26th March, and
of the 10th October, 1844, or under the notice
of the 7th December in the same year, to send in
their claims within a prescribed period, on pain
of the exclusion of them. I approve of your
projected appointment of a commission to report
