Gray's Despatch of 16th October

in Lord

1848, I have desired him to be

Gazetted to

that appointment, and I have

now to request

his confirmation during Mr. Smale's tenure

of office.

Mr William Smale's Salary is

$1440 a

year

and provided in the Civil List under Ordinance No. 13 of 1860.

As Mr. Holmes had been

previously appointed to that office through

misapprehension of Lord Grey's instructions,

I have

reappointed

him Clerk of the Court

of Summary Jurisdiction. Mr. Sangster

who held that appointment during Mr. Holmes' temporary promotion to the Supreme Court, will resume his old duties as second clerk in the Registrar

General's office at £300.0.0

I have further directed Mr. Barnicott, who had been appointed second Clerk in the room of Mr. Sangster, to be for the present employed in the Colonial Secretary's office, where there is increasing work and increasing arrears that must hereafter form the subject of a separate communication.

I have the honor to be,

Your Lordship's Most Obedient Servant,

Richard Graves Macdonnell

Governor
