“ The expense of preparing the tanks, &c., might, I submit, be 
charged to the Land Fund. I have enclosed a letter to Mr. Young, 
to be forwarded to him in case your Lordship should sanction the 
experiment; and in this I have pointed out to him the best mode in 
which the transport of the fish might be managed, and requested 
him to take upon himself all the arrangements relative to the con- 
struction of tanks, &c., submitting an estimate of the expense, and 
receiving your Lordship’s sanction to the outlay before any liabilities 
are incurred. Trusting that your Lordship will allow the experi- 
ment to be made,

15th February, 1850. 
“ Sir, 
“ T am directed by Earl Grey to transmit to you the copy of a 
Despatch from the Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, 
respecting the introduction of Salmon into the rivers of that Colony, 
and referring his Lordship to yourself as being most competent to 
superintend the arrangements necessary for carrying the proposal 
into effect. A private letter to you, which Sir W. Denison has also 
forwarded with his Despatch, is also enclosed; and should it be in 
your power to render assistance in this matter in the mode pointed 
out by the Lieutenant-Governor, I am to suggest that you should 
place yourself in communication with the Lords Commissioners of 
the Admiralty, relative to the conveyance of the spawn, as Lord 
Grey has already been in correspondence on the subject with their 
Lordships. 
“T am to add that, on application to Mr. Barnard, the Colonial 
Agent, No. 3, Cannon Row, Westminster, any expense which it may 
be requisite to incur will be repaid to you on the part of the 
Government, 
“ Tam, &c., 
“«B. HAWKES.”
