I have the honor to report that in compliance with Your Lordship's instruction conveyed in Despatch N° 78 of the 6th December 1848, the duty of 2 1/2 per cent levied in this Colony on goods sold by public auction, was abolished from the 16th instant; and further, that with the concurrence of the Executive Council I decided on increasing the Fee on Auction Licenses to 150 Dollars per annum each.
