Letter
Gardiner Austin to Joseph Bailey, August 15, 1871
Mr. Austin to Mr. Bailey.
No. 392.]
Colonial Secretary’s Office, August 15, 1871.
Sir: I am directed by his excellency the lieutenant governor to forward for your consideration a letter which has been sent to this department by the registrar general, in reference to the action alleged to have been taken by Mr. George Payne, an American citizen, regarding emigration to San Francisco. I beg to draw your attention to that part of Mr. Smith’s letter in which he refers to the evasion of the emigration laws of the colony, which must necessarily have resulted from the signature of contracts after the departure of the steamer.
I have, &c.,
I. GARDINER AUSTIN.
