NEW SOUTH WALES. £43 



On the 1st of this month the regulation rela- 

 tive to the numher of public servants which the 

 officers were allowed to retain, commenced. 



It now became too obvious, that, instead of 

 employing each Sunday in the performance of 

 those duties for which that day was set apart, 

 it was passed in committing every vile act of 

 dissipation, the overseers of the gangs were 

 ordered to see their men mustered every Sunday 

 morning, and to attend with them at church. 

 The superintendants and constables were to see 

 this order complied with, and that the women 

 (who, as in all cases when they are really bad, 

 are much worse than the men) were strictly 

 looked after, and made to attend divine service 

 regularly. And, as example was thought might, 

 (as inmost cases,) do something, the officers were 

 ordered not only to send a number of their ser- 

 vants, but they were all called on, civil and 

 military, to assist in theexecution of this order; 

 and the magistrates were required to pay their 

 attention, in compelling a proper obedience to 

 it, by preventing the opening of the public 

 houses during divine service, as \fell as any 

 other irregularity on that day. 



On the 20th, arrived the Pomona and Diana, 

 whalers belonging to the Southern fishery. 



The Governor desirous of having that part 

 of the coast surveyed in which a strait was 

 supposed to exist (between the latitude of 

 39° 00' S. and the land previously deemed the 

 Southern Promontory of New South Wales, and 

 called Van Diemen's land), his Excellency
