during his late absence to the Northwards, I deemed it just to allow Mr Mercer the full salary of the Chief Clerk in the Treasury for the short period during which he performed the duties.

Mr Treasurer Martin has found a person to fill the office of "Chief Clerk" in the person of Mr I. Denham, who entered on his duties on the 14th February.

I have brought before the Executive Council, on the 19th Instant, the inclosed letter from the Chief Magistrate, recommending a reduction in the Establishment of the Assistant Magistrate at Chekchu, to the extent of 1500 Dollars, and granting to Mr. Hillier an allowance of 50 dollars a month on account of the additional Expense to which he would be exposed by the change of his fixed residence from Chekchu to Victoria. By this arrangement - which was sanctioned in Council, an annual saving of 900 Dollars will be effected, and therefore trust it will meet with Your Lordship's approval.

I have the honor to be,

With the highest respect;

Your Lordship's,

Most Obedient

Humble Servant
