wodld observe, that now the Surveyor is
at his office only a certain time, namely on
Mondays from 1 to 3 o'clock, and parties
have to deliver to him their bills of sale; he
can then control if the document is used or
not; but at all events, the matter might be
easily arranged by the Government giving
instructions that bills of sale may be re-
ceived for recording in the same form as
hitherto, with similar annOtatiOns as those
now used for upwards of 60 years.
The Governor: No.
