honour to forward for Your Lordship's consideration, a copy of a letter from Mr. Ackroyd, the present Registrar, requesting that, in view of the extra work entailed by the transfer of the Land Office to the registry of the Supreme Court, an increase should be made to the salary of his office.
Enclosure
From the copy of the Council Minute of Proceedings enclosed, it will be seen that the Executive Council, after due deliberation, and looking to the terms of Your Lordship's despatch No. 146 of July 21, 1883, do not feel able to advise that this application should be submitted for your favourable consideration; and I therefore forward it without remark, except that I concur with the view of the Executive Council.
An increase in Mr. Ackroyd's salary may be properly considered at a later period.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Most Obedient Humble Servant,
Your Lordship's
Mr. Bowen
