No. 151

I have the honor to forward to you a copy of a Memorial from Mrs.
Sophia Elizabeth Cox, stating that her husband Mr. William G. Cox has
emigrated to British Columbia leaving her without the necessary means of
subsistence.

As I perceive from the Blue Book of the Colony that Mr. Cox is
Stipendiary Magistrate at Rock Creek, I have to instruct you to
communicate with him, and unless he is able to refute the truth of this
representation to inform him that he must either provide for his Wife out
of his salary (which you will cause to be done in an efficient manner,
and so as to prevent evasion) or else he must immediately be removed
from his appointment.
