| future salaries & those for offices & of the office of Registrar General I will express no final opinion, pending the receipt of the Estimates for 1891, when I shall be able to consider them in relation to the salaries of other Justices.

G. should be fixed at $3600 with free quarters, which in fact increase the regular emoluments of the former holder of the office, viz. $3040 without quarters, for as I pointed out in par. 30 of my despatch No. 205 of 26th Sept.

4. I will await the further receipt of the promised despatch containing recommendations in regard to filling the vacant post.
