No. 112

Referring to my Despatch No 99 dated 30th November 1864 reporting
the suspension of Mr R. Golledge, I have the honor to inform you
that I have appointed Colonel Foster, Stipendiary Magistrate at
Sooke, to perform the duties of Gold Commissioner in connection with
those of the office he now holds, but without any addition of salary.

The duties of both offices can be readily performed by one officer at
this season of the year when mining operations are partially
suspended.
