I have to report that in consequence of the stringent measures instituted against Mr. Duddell, he proceeded to comply with the terms under which the market had been granted to him, which consisted in the reclamation of ground from the Sea, the erection of a Police Station and the creation of a Market with suitable buildings, none of which services had been carried into effect to the great inconvenience of the Public, but as he is now proceeding with much vigour it is probable he may finish the work in the time set forth in his Bond.

I regret to have to allude to the still prevailing practice of burning the brushwood on the hills; it causes incalculable mischief to the whole Island, stops the growth of all young indigenous trees, and I need hardly say detracts in a considerable degree from the natural beauty and picturesqueness of the districts. The preservation of the Trees, whether planted by Government for the general good, or the natural growth of the Island, I conceive should be specially the duty of the Police of the localities in which they are situated.
