Copy of the Report of those Members is enclosed herewith, and a Copy was also promised to be sent by the Govt to the Colonial Office. It will be seen therefrom that I kept several books in the office as I was required by Instructions from the holder of the Treasury, and that those "all Books were properly written up."

I have not had a copy of those Books. I applied for a copy of the Cashbook to the Board in London, & it was refused me.

During the Confusion & hurry which took place under the illness & absence of the Colonial Secretary, the Auditor & myself, and on the death of several Clerks, there were several letters not registered or entered, as noted by the Board in their Report, – but the Acting Clerk promised to complete these deficiencies in the letter book in a few days, with which the Board expressed themselves fully satisfied.
