Sir, Acting under the authority of a verbal communication from the Honorable the Executive Council, conveyed to me by the Clerk of that Council, suggestions were made by myself and Mr.O'Connor, in a document addressed to you on the ninth of May last in reference to the transfer of the services of the officers and servants of the late Legislative Council to the service respectively of the two New legislative Bodies now existing.
These suggestions having been generally approved, Mr O'Connor and myself, under the authority of a printed circular (No.68) dated 27th May last, addressed to us respectively, took upon ourselves to allot salaries to the new occupants of the subordinate offices,Vizi (written in the margin under 'Permanent' -Principal Messenger, Wm Brophy; Assistant,Alex McIntosh and 3 Extra Messengers) as regards the Legislative Council Department, those indicated on the margin.
We also suggested that the salary of Mr. Jessop, who under the old Council had the charge of the Buildings, should be increased from one hundred pounds a year to one hundred and fifty pounds a year (with the corresponding or equivalent gold increase) in consideration of his having the charge of the two Legislative Buildings, instead of the one with the assistance of two Female Servants one (Mrs.Brophy) with the salary of two shillings and sixpence per diem, and the others, with the salary of two shillings per diem. It was of course also necessary to procure the assistance of the services of some Extra Clerks during the few days which the Council sat and two were appointed, Mr William Gunn and Mr Alfred B Burne; and the services of these Gentlemen or others in lieu thereof and of three Extra Messengers will again be required when the Council re-assembles.
