Public Notification.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 10th November, 1874.

WHEREAS certain charges have been made on
behalf of the Stamp Department against Mr.
Henry Eustace de Bathe Brandon, lately Chief Clerk
and Accountant in that Department: And whereas
a Commission was appointed by His Excellency the
Governor to inquire into the truth of such charges :
And whereas the said Commissioners have re-
ported,--

1st. That certain specific charges so made "had
been proved, and the truth of them in fact admitted
by Mr. Brandon."

2nd. With regard to the charge of habitual negli-
gence in the discharge of his official duties, "That,
on the whole, whilst it is certain that Mr. Brandon's
conduct has been irregular, we do not think that the
irregularities proved are sufficient, apart from the
specific charges, to support a charge of habitual negli-
gence."

And whereas the Commissioners have further re-
ported as follows:-" We think Mr. Brandon should
receive some punishment for the grave irregularities
he has been guilty of, but that dismissal from the
Civil Service of the Colony would be an unnecessarily
severe sentence:"

It is hereby notified, in accordance with the pro-
visions of section 32 of the Civil Service Regulations,
that Mr. Henry Eustace de Bathe Brandon has been
removed from the Stamp Office, and will be appointed
to another Department of the Government; and that
his salary has been reduced from £300 per annum to
£200, at which rate it will be paid from the date of
his suspension from office.

By order of the Colonial Secretary.
G. S. COOPER.
