No. 56

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Despatch of the 24h
September last marked "Separate" calling my attention to the
occasional omission in the Colonial enactments sent home by this
Government, of the marginal abstracts required by established rule to
facilitate their examination.

2. The cost of printing in this Colony is very great, and I find
that with the view to economize as much as possible, the practice of
placing the abstract of the clause
over the clause, instead of in the margin, was introduced. I
will, however, take care that in future the established rule be
strictly adhered to.
