CHAP. 5L 



r rom contemplating a narrative, replete with 

 rational gratification to the mind, it is a pity 

 to be obliged to resume a continuance of the 

 catalogue of crimes with which iniquity seems 

 ever ready to afford a super- abundance of mate- 

 rials. 



The crminal courts being assembled on the 

 59th of August, one man, Job Williams, was con- 

 victed of a burglary ; and several others were 

 ordered to be transported to Norfolk Island. 

 Williams afterwards received a pardon, as, some 

 favourable circumstances were laid before the 

 Governor. 



Some difficulties were still placed in the way 

 of the Commissary in preparing his accounts to 

 be sent home, through the settlers, and other 

 persons who had not come forward as directed, to 



\ sign the vouchers of sums paid for grain or pork 

 delivered at the public stores, the Commissary 



i was therefore ordered not to pay directly 

 in future, but to issue government notes quar- 

 terly; when every person concerned would be 

 obliged to attend, and give the proper receipts 

 for such sums paid them. This was indeed a 

 most valuable regulation, and some such pre- 

 ventive mode had been long wanted.
