visited the works,

reported to the President that the requirements of the Government were not being carried out. This was a matter of concern. I desired Mr. Morcom to explain his conduct, if possible, before the Executive Council, and I transmit the notes taken on the occasion.

13.

Your Lordship will observe the recommendation of the Committee, in addition to which I have no hesitation in recording my conviction that Mr. Morcom is not equal to the performance of the duties of the important Office of Surveyor General of this Colony, where large sums of money are annually expended in public works.

14.

I have not thought it advisable to prefer any formal charge against Mr. Morcom pending Your Lordship's decision on the case submitted by my Predecessor.

15.

As a measure of economy, it would be cheaper for the Colony to retire Mr. Morcom upon a pension than submit to the loss which his inefficiency would entail on the Public.

I have the honor to be,

My Lords,

Your Lordships' most obedient humble servant,

Governor.
