I am further to state that with this new of the Subject, My Lords are of opinion that the apparently quite unnecessary Offices of third Treasury Clerk, and of Surveyor of Works and Civil Engineer, should be forthwith abolished.
My Lords also concur in opinion with Governor Bonham that the Office of Registrar General may be abolished, and the Duties of it transferred to the Chief Magistrate and the Treasurer's Department.

I have had these papers by me for a long time having been under the wide subject of reduction...
I am afraid I may not even be able to touch upon all these points. But with regard to two of the persons who were affected by the reduction, Mr. Marion & Coventry, I wonder that the former was disposed of. I know of a certain practice in Cumberland of some value for the office. I do not think this appointment would now be justly defended if it were not accompanied by an ample compensation. No happier at Swan River - this has been the case when it was proposed to create a new office, but if convicts are sent out there, there will be occasion for a competent person to direct their labour & I believe he is very well qualified for the situation.
