No. 93

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 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 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.
