3. as Serpated point out very brily that Supplementary Ritimatis framed, as it has been the habit to frame them here, way after termination of the year, whose votes they are intended to expplement, become really Bills of Indemnity. A character which if avowed and intended commends itself at least as consistent and intelligible.

4. The Supplementary Estimates herewith submitted are in themselves unusually moderate; the total vote required being little more than $37,000 for the unforeseen, of which $4,722 was expense of passages for the Mint officers and nearly $4,000 for the Fire Brigade established in 1868, and provided for by Ordinance No 4 of that year.

5. About $2,000 expenditure was incurred in the Stamp Office owing to alterations of the Law requiring new dies, whilst the excess in necessary expenses of Gaol, which had evidently been underestimated in a too sanguine spirit, amounted to nearly $6,500. The heavier item of more than $13,000 under the head of Roads Streets and Bridges arose from the Estimates having been prepared before the damage caused by the Typhoons of 1867; the expense of repairing which fell on the Revenue.
