In Dispatch 107044 of 27 February last, I was informed that it was the intention
of the Colonial Government to remove from the Starbor Master's Hill, where they
and marine
Marine
Mailin
are now held, the offices of Harbor
Magistrate; and having, within the last few days, examined the arrangements in process of being made at the Court House with
views of carrying out the intentions stated to me in the above Dispatch, I find that these
arrangements do not include any accommodation
for myself, beyond one room for an Office,
and I am compelled in consequence to hire a
house to reside in.
I therefore respectfully request
you will be pleased to move the Lieutenant Governor that an allowance be made
(of)
to me for Houserent; and, in support of this
I beg to call your attention to the
application I beg to call your Dispatches on record, in this office, which bear upon the subject.
On the 20th of January 1845 My Col. my predecessor, ditto Pedder P2 St, applied for an increase of Salary, in consequence of having
to perform the duties of Marine Magistrate, and received for answer / Letter H°397.25 of January 1845) "The privilege you enjoy of
dwelling in your present official, is held to be the consistent equivalent to an increase of Salary".
Letter A 139 of 25th March 1844 from the Colonial Secretary, informed Sirut Pedder that he was relieved from the duties of Marine Magistrate __ and, on the following day
was intimated to him that he would be
charged a rent of Says Pounds, five shillings, a month for the House on Starlor Master's Hill
