No. 91

I regret to report the death of Mr C.J. Pritchard, late Warden
of the Gaol at New Westminster.

2. In his place I have appointed Mr Arthur McBride, lately
Keeper of the Gaol in Victoria under the superintendence of the
Police Magistrate.

3. Mr Pritchard's Salary was Twelve Hundred and Twenty dollars
($1220), per annum. Mr McBride will only receive the same
amount which he at present draws, namely, Nine Hundred and
Twelve dollars ($912); but better accommodation in respect of
Quarters and an allowance for Light and Fuel render the change
advantageous for him.
