all the

of Government.
In
my
despatch N. 105 of the
20th November 1879, paragraph 6, 9 — informed Michael Borthwick Beach that
I had, as a
temporary and provisional
measure, allowed Mr. Marsh to
appropriate the sum of $1200 (which
the Secretary of State thought would
have been saved)
for
the
pay of a third
Clerk in the Audit Office. For this temporary work M. Marsh selected a Portuguese Clerk, J. Freire; and I learn
from the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Snowden that it is to this temporary
254
Clerk the audit of the Accounts of the Supreme Court is practically given. M. Marsh is aware that I do not
approve of
this mode of doing the Audit Work, and
propose, with Your Lordship's sanction
instructing the Auditor General to make a personal audit of the accounts of the Supreme Court every month.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient
Humble Servant,
Dec.
