G. Sprigg to M, 20 July 1865 (In this edition as 65-07-20a), requested M to call a meeting of the Trustees to propose this action.
The Royal Park was not proclaimed a Reserve, but the purpose of the request, to regulate behaviour in the Park, was acted upon when regulations proposed in M to J. Grant, 24 January 1866 (in this edition as 66-01-24b), were agreed to, and were published in Victoria government gazette, 13 February 1866, p. 381.
