particulars of the undertaking. What Contract is clearly binding upon both parties, and but the non-fulfilment of it on the one side, could justify the violation of it

on the other.

On the faith of this engagement, subscription paper was circulated and money given, and it appears to us that the Community have, in all particulars, fulfilled their part of the agreements. The Church, when completed, will cost, according to statement A herewith, the sum of £8736:

ment cut is bound to of this sum H. M. Government contribute £.824, and the Community £2,912: but the Government having only paid £4,600, has still to make good £1224.

The Community have already paid more than £2,912 (their proportion), into the Colonial Treasury; but according to Major Caine's letter of 29 January, 1847, the excess ought to be again placed at the disposal of the Subscribers. We, however,

entertain hopes that the Community will allow this excess to be appropriate towards defraying the expense of an organ, bells and a clock, all of which are wanted, and essentially so, for the proper celebration of Divine Service in so small a community, where it is very difficult to procure singers.

In the above statement, we have included a very moderate commission to the architect for his valuable services, to which we consider him clearly entitled. You will observe by a letter from the Hon. F. A. Bruce, sent herewith, that the erection of the Church was not originally considered a Government task, and that, in consequence, the gratuitous services of the Surveyor General were refused.

Such, Sir, is a plain statement of facts, corroborated by documents, and we know of nothing that has since happened, that can affect, in the slightest degree, the compact entered into by the respective parties.
