I regret to report to Your Lordship the death of
Mr 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.
Mr 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.
Mr Ball had by my direction relieved
Mr 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
Mr 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.
