" Gentlemen of the Council—The near approach of Christ;

your respective residences, where your services, valuable
they are here, will be so much more important; I haver ~,
solved on releasing you from your duties as Members of t"
Legislative Body after en attendance of unusual duration. be
" None of the Bills which have been presented to me as

be one of much importance, and though various circumstancs
have induced me to resolve on not acting under its provisions, into
recent case, I feel the great utility of the measure, and sb'o,
not hesitate to avail myself of it, if any occurrence should °
fortunat-ly arise where it can be with propriety used.
" It affords me much satisfaction to be enabled to inf°llllol
you,, that a second and further increase to the number to
special Magistrates has been announced to me by the
to
packet, several of those appointed for this colony had actu.;
sailed previous to the date of the despatch` which I bave.:ol
ceived, and the rest were immediately to follow. When ago
them shall have arrived, I have no hesitation in saying;t it
the number in the island will be perfectly adequate t
exigencies. tbe
I am further gratified in being able to inform you file
plan for the better arrangement of the West India packetiog
now in active progress, and I am instructed to say that it
be very speedily matured. 1-
" It remains for me now only to mention, that the ru,es,,,

the services of manumized slaves, have been approved °ae

That rule which affects the distribution of the fund betvlbot

the active prosecution of the claims by the different Joir
