The retirement of the Jury Attorney General thought that this proceeding by bill/ordinance whose provisions were all subjected to the revision

of the

Council and whose character was even more

conciliatory and correct than I had

contemplated, was

ever

far preferable to my applying simply for a Supplementary vote for £14,000 which I proposed to be taken in the service of 1859 for the work under consideration. The Surveyor General had also urged objections against proceeding by asking a vote of money

first

for the proposed work, and

carrying it

out under the undoubted powers

of the Crown

The leases

gave

rise

to the representation that his own

position

was

a very painful one

304

having the undivided

responsibility of fixing rents and damages, - a responsibility, from which

he desired to be relieved. I therefore appointed the Surveyor General, the Colonial Treasurer and the Acting Attorney General to draw

up an Ordinance.

And was assured by them individually

and collectively that they were satisfied with the ordinance they had prepared

- it gave every security to the finances

of the Colony, remedied the objections

of the Surveyor General and was satisfactory to the Acting Attorney General in all questions of a legal character.
