PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

Superintendent’s Office,

Auckland, 13th May, 1876.

IT is hereby notified that His Honour the Superintendent has been pleased to appoint Sergeant WILLIAM NUGENT MULVILLE, of the Thames Police Force, to be the Inspector for the THAMES Slaughter-house District, under "The Slaughter-house Act, 1866," in the place of Sergeant James Elliott, transferred.

READER WOOD,

Provincial Secretary.

Schedule of Officers of the Immigration Department proposed to be dispensed with in the Province of Auckland.

Auckland, 15th May, 1876.

To Hon. Minister for Immigration,

Wellington.

Your letter of the 29th instant, No. 52, received.

I am sorry that I cannot agree, for various reasons, in the propriety of any of the arrangements you propose. There is no necessity for my going into this subject. If you desire to reduce the expenditure of the Immigration Department here [it is in my opinion quite an unnecessary department] the whole of its duties can be performed in the Superintendent’s Office, at no additional cost to the public.

G. GREY.
