The Colonial Secretary left with me when quitting the Colony on leave of absence at the end of last month.

As that report states that Mr Muen had placed the Blue Book before me, I must explain that in reality it was not completed nor laid before me till the beginning of this month. I trust that I have adopted such measures as will prevent its completion being deferred to so late a period again.

Although the Blue Book contains much interesting matter I refrain from adding any comments thereto as those offered by Mr. Mercer, as I did not arrive in the Colony till March of the present year.

I have the honour to be,

Your Lordship's Most obedient servant,

Richard Graves Macdonnel Governor
