the opportunity of muting objections giving those explanations in detail which can best be made orally. I would further venture to refer to the fact that from the early days of the Colony until my appointment, the Surveyor General has, I believe, been a member of the Executive Council, and the Colonial Engineer, and General, is a member of that Council in which Gubernatorial Works of any importance are carried on personally.

At the time of the resignation of my Predecessor, I have the honour to be Your most obedient servant
