I M's Government here.
H
In sending
this Return
I have respectfully to request that His Excellency the Acting Governor would be pleased to forward
a copy of it to
the London Gazette, and the
"Times Newspaper, thus giving
it as wide a
publicity as if the provisions of Section
3 of the Colonial
Ordinance 5 of 1854
had been literally complied with, which I may here be
permitted to observe it is
almost impossible to,
owing to the difficulty
in ascertaining
the next-of-kin in
most of the cases (where
there are no claimants) in
the mother Country of the deceased.
I have to:
(signed) W. H. Alexander.
Registrar
To
The Colonial Secretary.
