The actual revenue is £846.9.4. Since in 1864 £256.6.6½ were raised for defraying the cost of an Auxiliary Police force, revived by the Administrator, The Lieutenant Governor, for protection against probable "attack by a foreign enemy or piratical bands."
The total will further increase during the present year, in consequence of the number of poor houses, as the Chinese are beginning to decline paying the exorbitant rents they had to submit to during the past year.
Fines, Fees, and Forfeitures of Courts show an increase of £751.15.1¼, of which £732.3.4¼ are Forfeitures, a consequence of the large influx of immigrants of all classes, and fines and forfeitures made in cases of "Gambling Houses," etc.
Notwithstanding a reduction made at the end of 1874 on the fees levied in the Supreme Court, the judicial fees have been £19.11.9. Fees of Offices show an increase of less than £1387.1.10, accounted for by the general reasons already given.
The greatest increase is in Boats and Hawkers, viz., £670.15.0, and the next greatest is £4014.3.1¼, for the Registry of Colonial vessels, and the surveys on them as prescribed by Ordinance No. 4 of 1855, which came into force on the 31st of March.
This is the only instance of a new source of Revenue created during the year, and I still hold to the opinion expressed in August last, that it is a beneficial measure. What I then found, viz.,
