therefore I have acceded to his request by paying into the Treasury his Subscription to the Superannuation fund, amounting to $90. 27.
I have deemed it proper to appoint the Colonial Treasurer to perform temporarily the duties of Mr Inglis, giving him an extra allowance of $300 per annum to enable the duties of the Registration office to be properly performed, particularly as regards the collection of the various items of Revenue obtained by this Department, such as Boat Registration, Squatter's Rent, Billage Registration, House Rent, as well as that of Cultivated Sands, and Licenses to Hawkers, the whole of which amounted last year to $1096. 16.7.
My Despatch No 360/36th March last will have informed Your Lordship of the Resignation of Mr Stevenson, Clerk to the Registrar General, which coupled with that of Mr Inglis, enables me to effect a saving in this Department alone of $450 per annum, as is shown in the accompanying Schedule, and that without decreasing the Revenue.
Upon receiving your Lordship's instructions as to the future Establishment of this Department, I shall await further guidance.
