hitherto received, and this would leave a Balance of $500 available for transport or other expenses, which would appear, so far as can be anticipated, amply sufficient to provide among other things for any reasonable increase of the Assistant Clerk's Salary.

The question of increasing the Salary of the local auditor may, however, be determined, apart from the amount which is available, and if, after full consideration of the circumstances, the Secretary of State is of opinion that it is undesirable to increase the stipend of Mr. Nicolle, the Comptroller and Auditor General has no desire to urge his recommendation. At the same time, he thinks it only fair to Mr. Nicolle to point out that it is a mistake to suppose that he derives any emolument from Imperial funds. Whatever arrangement may be come to in the future, there is no immediate prospect of his being employed for Imperial purposes, and the Comptroller and Auditor General is not aware of his receiving any remuneration from the Colony or from local Bodies. It may also be observed that, since his arrival in the Colony, Mr. Nicolle has been largely employed by the Colonial Government on investigations which seem to be rather outside of his duties as local auditor.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your Obedient Servant,

DElon-Foushart.
