forwarded I have to explain that the Vote for Clothing and Accoutrements required by the Police

was

exceeded

owing

to some

of

the Chinese

the Batta for 1871 being paid in 1872; to the Additional Force being enrolled after the preparation of the Estimates, who needed, of course, to be clothed

and to the original vote (£6000) being much less than is plainly wanted to purchase uniforms for

about

1000

600

Men.

Of the other item I may report that, although there is a

large

sum down in the Ordinance

for Works and Buildings, and Roads

192

7

Streets and Bridges- the Details

which

are set out in the enclosures to this despatch - yet the actual expenditure under these heads

was

only $9,212.68 in excess of

the Estimates

for the

year. With those remarks

I beg to solicit that the Ordinance may

be submitted for Your Majesty's

gracious confirmation and allowance

I have the honor to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient

humble servant,

Arthur Edward Kennedy
