I regret to report to Your Lordship the death of 
M Chartres
                  Brew who nominally held the appointment of Inspector General of
               Police, but, in fact laterally discharged the duties of
               Stipendiary Magistrate and Gold Commissioner
at
 at 
Barkerville, in
               the District of 
Cariboo.
               
               2. 
M Brew's appointment was one of those provided for by the
               Crown Salaries Act; but the Office is unnecessary and I do not
               propose to fill it up. 
M Ball had by my direction relieved
               
M Brew as Magistrate at 
Cariboo before his death in
               consequence of his protracted ill-health, and I shall make use
               of the
services
 services of 
M Bushby as Magistrate at 
New Westminster,
               now that he has been relieved from his former duties as
               Registrar General by the recent Land Registry Ordinance.
