Herewith we submit the report of the Worthy Master, 

 in relation to the use of the appropriations made for the 

 contingent expenses of his office. As the expenses of this 

 Committee have been reported to you by the Secretary 

 they are omitted from this report. We have thus reported 

 to you the more important subjects that have claimed our 

 attention, and our action thereon. While it is not prac- 

 ticable to report all the details connected with these sub- 

 jects, yet their consideration requires careful and deliber- 

 ate consideration, requiring a very considerable portion of 

 the time of your committee, which cannot be presented 

 in a report of this nature. Hence, our report should be 

 regarded as only a very brief synopsis of the work of the 



Committee.
