Assistant Surgeons attached to Military Department, on a system of £200 to £250 for allowance per annum, which at all events might be tried when an office becoming vacant.
13. The Harbour Master's Department is susceptible of reduction; no Assistant Harbour Master is now required, although one was undoubtedly required in the earlier days of the Colony. Mr. Lena, the Assistant Harbour Master, was employed under Captain Elliot as such, and was in the cutter "Louisa" when that Gentleman and Sir Gordon Bremer were wrecked. Mr. Lena is a hard-working, respectable person, and is now in a bad state of health from Rheumatism brought on by exposure to bad weather. I should be well pleased if your Lordship could transfer Mr. Lena to some other Colony; but considering his claims, services, and the state of his health, I cannot recommend that he be dismissed without some provision.
14. The Supreme Court, and Attorney General. This appears to me to be the most over-paid and under-worked Departments of this Colony, and were it not in existence, I should, with the experience that I now have of its working, of the duties it has to perform, of its extravagant cost, and its inaptitude to the circumstances of the Colony, propose an entirely different system.
