I are able to report results equally satisfactory - More than 1500 tenants and Householders have already been Registered, and thereby have become under the Ordinance personally responsible for many offences, such as Gambling, Prostitution &c. recurring in their Houses. Nearly 2,000 domestic servants have been also supplied with Certificates, and the whole additional cost of the department has been already met for the past year.

I have the honor to be,

Your Lordships,

Most obedient Servant,

Richard Graves MacDonnell

Governor
