I am afraid the effect of the decision will be very unfortunate - especially if the principle is sought to be extended to other sources. It is worth while to consider whether it would not be advisable to have Orders in Council, even now, remaking all the old Reserves which were made by the Governor alone, and cannot be distinctly proved to have been a condition of sale of the land. I will talk the matter over with Mr. Fox, and see what he says about it.
