Government House Furniture.

Condemned

The old furniture condemned by the Board was all sold in March last and the new furniture referred to in the report for the year 1862 as having been procured from England, has since been made use of. A special survey was made the latter end of December in view of the early departure of His Excellency the Governor from the Colony, when the furniture was all found to be in good order.

All the lower suites of rooms are furnished at the expense of Government as being those required for public reception, the first floor is furnished at the expense of each Governor. In the case of the present Governor a special condition is required of him as an allowance was made by order of the Secretary of State for the inconvenience to which he was subjected on his taking possession (the house having been entirely denuded by the previous Governor Sir John Bowring of all his effects).

To prevent such inconvenience to the Succeeding Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson is to offer the refusal of his private furniture to the New Governor should he desire to purchase it at a valuation.

I have to.

(Signed) W. Wilson

Acting Surveyor General.

(Addressed to) Mr. Alexander

Acting Colonial Secretary.
