I was confined to the office more than usual by lameness, otherwise I might have rendered assistance to the civil engineer in his survey; but unfortunately it was impossible for me to walk or undertake such exercise.
The civil engineer and clerk of works was invalided on the 30th September, and departed for England on leave for twelve months.
Towards the termination of the year, the works at the church were recommenced for the completion of the tower, fixing the iron window-frames, eaves-gutters, &c.
Mr. Power, the book-keeper, has been fully occupied in executing his several duties; in the preparation of the documents required by the office accounts, returns, and other official service matters, much of which was increased by the voluminous statements affecting lands, and copies thereof demanded by the House of Commons.
In the Registry Office, 85 memorials affecting land were registered, 49 of which were for absolute sale, and 10 surrenders to the Crown, the remainder being of a miscellaneous character; of the above, 27 have been prepared and copied in the office, being for Chinese, with translations attached by the Chinese Secretary.
The reduction that has taken place in the department consists in the road overseer, amounting to $1804 per annum.
