No. 31

I have the honor to report that I have appointed provisionally
and until Her Majesty's pleasure be known, Mr Henry Berkely
Good to be Clerk to the Magistrate in Victoria in the room of
Mr Theakstone resigned. I believe Mr Good to be well fitted
for the Office.

2. The Salary attached to the appointment is Twelve hundred
Dollars per annum, hitherto provided by annual Vote; and it is
small as compared with the expense of living. The Office would
offer no advantage to any qualified person transferred from
another Colony or coming out from England.
