Books for you

With regard to trespasses upon the lands of the disputed territory,
I beg to assure you that the extent to which those trespasses appear
to have been carried, as brought to my knowledge by recent occurrences,
will lead me to adopt without any delay the strongest and most effectual
measures which may be in my power for putting a stop to and preventing
the recurrence of such trespasses.
With high respect, I have the honor to be, your excellency's most
obedient servant,
J. HARVEY,
_Major-General, Lieutenant-Governor_.

communication of the 18th instant, by the hand of Colonel J.P. Rogers.
To your demand for the discharge of the persons arrested by the

public lands of this State I have to say that the persons named are now
in the _custody of the law_.
