the Emigration Agent here, and I now enclose extract from my despatch to Her Majesty's Secretary of State covering copies of my original Memo on the subject of the "Rayspring", before receipt of Your Excellency's communication, and also of the subsequent correspondence in connection with that subject:

Your Excellency will observe that I have expressed myself as satisfied with the explanations given by the Brinker Master here, and I have no doubt that a perusal of the enclosed papers will lead to a similar conclusion.

I am nevertheless glad to receive proof of the vigilance exercised by the Authorities in Melbourne over all details of immigration into that colony and shall esteem it a favour to be made acquainted as early as possible with any incidents calculated to throw light on the proceedings taken here. The vigilance of the Authorities at the final terminus of such immigration must react beneficially on those who supervise the Emigration commencing here.

At the same time I am bound to say that I have had every reason hitherto to be satisfied with the care and efficiency with which his duties have been discharged by Mr Thomsett, the Emigration Officer of this port.

I have, &c.

(signed) William Graves Murray Bennett, Governor and Commander-in-Chief.

Shardtnia Martin, Colonial Secretary.
