  1. The Lieutenant General, the Government did not interfere; two of the Tenants refused to defend (although they had already built houses thereon) and the consequence was Judgment was given by default, and the Crown Tenants arrested by the Sheriff. The party who was after great difficulty persuaded to defend his case, has not yet had it decided; it has been postponed from time to time, the opposite party having repeatedly made efforts to induce the Government to enable them to effect a compromise by the resumption of certain other lands, which I am happy to say was not acceded to, and the case is still in abeyance. It is a case which I feel certain would be given in favour of the Crown, otherwise in that of the Tenant recovering presumed land, and that it would be shown that the acts as performed by one under the sanction of the Government, have been warranted by Law as well as Justice. I have fully detailed the various circumstances affecting the case in my letters to the Colonial Secretary Nos. 19, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29 and 31 of 1852. It is unnecessary for me to give any further illustration, and it is only merely alluded to as a circumstance connected with the Department during the year past.

  1. The supervision of Convict labour devolves upon myself alone, as it has done for the last three years; in this however I am assisted by the Sergeant of the Convict Guard, who is attentive, and now understands the mode of effecting repairs, and such services as the men are employed upon; a daily return is made of the number of men employed.
