vacancy was created

in the Survey Department, which I have filled up by the appointment of Mr. William Goulboven, Gaol clerk, to that situation.

2.

Mr Goulbown entered

the service in 1875 as

in Victoria Gaol and was

Turnkey

• promoted

to a clerkship in July of the

next

year

This place in the

Gaol will be taken provisionally by Charles Lee, a 14th class Turnkey.

Mr Lee, on the other hand, bears

an excellent character

and is an educated man.

I thought it desirable

that the appointment of clerk in the Gaol should be held by

a man

who had already been

there, and accordingly did not appoint

a new man who

was unacquainted with the prisoners.

I have the honour to be

My Lord.
