I consider it my duty to mention the subject.

The amount of fees receivable in the Land Office for the year 1886 was:

Description	Amount
For granting and extending Leases	£80
For Registry Searches, &c.	£4 2s
Item	£218 5s 7½d
Total	£298 9s 6d

The number of interments in the Protestant Cemetery in 1856 was 160, and consisted of:

Category	Number
Army	23
Navy	50
Police	7
Civilians	9
Children	4
Paupers	6
Destitute	2
Merchant Seamen	58
Prisoner of War	1
Total	160

The fees upon which amounted to the sum of £249 11s 4d.

Ten monuments were erected, for which were collected to the amount of £57 5s 10d.

Together amounting to the sum of £306 17s 5d.

The Surveying Coolies attached to this Department have been occupied as under:

Task	Days
Cutting Grass	7
Clearing drains, &c.	174
Supervision of day labour	635
Planting trees	117
Total	936

In the early part of January it was found necessary to appoint a Portuguese Overseer of Convicts in the person of Francisco Xavier at a salary of 25 dollars per mensem, who has fulfilled the duties of the office efficiently.

The Chinese Overseer, Assow, is of infinite use both to the head of the Department and to the Clerk of Works, but should not, I think, be entrusted with the setting out of lots as has been the custom.
