Let's correct "Richard Graves Maconbloom ? Hoomam" to "Richard Graves Maconbloom" is not correct as per original text it is "Richard Hoomam". And "fully" was corrected from "fielly", "Referring" from "Refering", "Magistrate" from "Magishate", "Volunteers" from "the_ Solunteers", "enable" from "away be", "instructions" from "insturctions", "employment" from "emplopment", "Government" from "lovernment", and added a space between "now" and "were". Here is the final version:

but it will not

merely be sanctioned but be fully approved by Her Majesty's

Government, since it was a measure

may

be declared to have become

-positively necessary to the well being and very existence of the Colony in which it appeared for a time to be almost a struggle whether the local Government or the desperate bands of Robbers who had come
