My Lord,

No52,

In

10th March, 1844 S

Your Lordship's Despatch #52, of October 25th, I am asked if it is necessary expressly to appoint a Magistrate to Chick choo, with a salary of 2,400 Dollars. I have the satisfaction to state, that nearly the whole of the expense account of Police at Chek-choo, reported in my Despatch N. 5, to which the above is a reply, has been reduced. I have already reported in my late Despatch N15 of the 21st February, that Mr Stillier has taken the place of the former Assistant Magistrate at Victoria, and thus virtually done away with the additional office.
