In Dispatch 107044 of 27 February last, I was informed that it was the intention

of the Colonial Government to remove from the Starbor Master's Hill, where they

and marine

Marine

Mailin

are now held, the offices of Harbor

Magistrate; and having, within the last few days, examined the arrangements in process of being made at the Court House with

views of carrying out the intentions stated to me in the above Dispatch, I find that these

arrangements do not include any accommodation

for myself, beyond one room for an Office,

and I am compelled in consequence to hire a

house to reside in.

I therefore respectfully request

you will be pleased to move the Lieutenant Governor that an allowance be made

(of)

to me for Houserent; and, in support of this

I beg to call your attention to the

application I beg to call your Dispatches on record, in this office, which bear upon the subject.

On the 20th of January 1845 My Col. my predecessor, ditto Pedder P2 St, applied for an increase of Salary, in consequence of having

to perform the duties of Marine Magistrate, and received for answer / Letter H°397.25 of January 1845) "The privilege you enjoy of

dwelling in your present official, is held to be the consistent equivalent to an increase of Salary".

Letter A 139 of 25th March 1844 from the Colonial Secretary, informed Sirut Pedder that he was relieved from the duties of Marine Magistrate __ and, on the following day

was intimated to him that he would be

charged a rent of Says Pounds, five shillings, a month for the House on Starlor Master's Hill
