NEW SOUTH WALES. 4J9 



Sheds for the boats belonging to government 

 when hauled on shore were also built. 



Laid a new foundation, rebuilt a part of the 

 walls, and repaired the wet provision store at 

 Paramatta. 



Houses were erected near the hospital at Syd- 

 ney, for the nurses and attendants. 



Repaired, plastered, white-washed, and coat* 

 ed with lime, a house for a school at Sydney. 



Several ftock yards for cattle were inclosed, 

 and many old sheds were repaired at Paramatta, 

 Toongabbe, and Portland-place. In the latter 

 district, the timber of 120 acres was cut down, 

 and nearly half (that of 50 acres) burnt off, 

 a townihip marked out, and some few huts 

 built, and a number of inferior buildings. 



Exclusive of erecting and repairing the fore- 

 going public works, detachments were daily 

 employed in preserving the various buildings, 

 the property of the crown, particularly those 

 occupied by that class subordinate to the com- 

 missioned officers ; and, as these repairs were 

 necessary to prevent those buildings going to 

 decay, they had been paid every attention to 

 by Governor Hunter. 



The inclosures of the park and burial ground 

 having suffered by decay, a gang of carpenters 

 and labourers were for a considerable time 

 employed in preparing railing, and putting 

 them up. 



The judge-advocate's house at Sydney was 

 enlarged and repaired, with several alterations, 

 and out-houses.
