observations in connection with the Report of the Retrenchment Committee on the Attorney General's Office may be brought to the notice of H. E, the Governor.
1. I observe that, amongst the duties imposed on the Committee, they were instructed in all cases where they recommend a "prospective decrease" of the personal emolument attached to any office" to "record" their reasons and the opinion of the Head of the Department.
2. The Committee recommend that in future the Attorney General be allowed a salary of $4,800 with the right of private practice that is to say a monthly salary of $400 in lieu of $700.
3. The Committee base their report on the evidence of the Chief Justice who has never filled the post of Attorney General in this Colony on the evidence of Sir G. T.M. O'Brien, the Colonial Secretary and lastly on the information afforded the Committee (which is not detailed) of the Acting Chief Justice, their Chairman, who was on several occasions Acting Attorney General but they did not take the evidence either of the Head of the Department before he went on leave, or of myself.
The Honourable
J.H. Stewart Lockhart,
Acting Colonial Secretary.

has been removed as it appears to be a non-meaningful sequence likely resulting from OCR error or unrelated content. The rest of the text has been formatted according to the given instructions. Upon reviewing, the date "27th Septem 1894" seems incorrect and might be "27th September 1894". Also, "Veneral" should be "General". "roleside" is likely an OCR error and its correct word is unclear without context, it is left as is. "MOV 34)" seems out of place and its meaning is unclear. The text from "ས་༤A E"" to the end is not meaningful and appears to be a result of OCR misinterpretation or corruption, hence removed. The rest of the corrections are made according to the rules.27th Septem 1894.
